Caring and Professional

Peter was recommended to me by a friend. I called his office and was immediately able to get an appointment with his office. His office staff was very knowledgeable and advised me what I should bring to the appointment. Once I was introduced to Peter I felt very comfortable with him from the star...t. We sat down and Peter spent over the next hour listening to my issues involving a restraining order my wife had signed against me. I’m permanently disabled and have mobility issues and was removed from my home of over 20 years where I spent the last several years basically in bed due to my illness. Peter got the restraining order dismissed and I immediately filed for divorce as my wife made it known that was what she wanted. From our first meeting regarding the divorce filing Peter was always worried if I was comfortable and that he could come to my home where I was staying if it was to much for me sitting in his office. Peter always had my best interest at heart and always made sure our meetings were meaningful and to the point so I didn’t have to keep coming back to his office. Well needless to say the issue with my wife was resolved without me even having to sit in a courtroom all day and testifying in front of the judge and I felt I received a completely fair and outstanding outcome to a horrible situation. I’m a retired LEO and also retired from my second career because of my disability as an upper management employee in Corporate Security for a major international business. Knowing and working for attorneys I felt Peter treated me with respect and was very professional throughout the entire divorce proceedings. Peter’s fees were extremely reasonable and worth every penny I paid him. I was relieved when the case was finally resolved and if it wasn’t for Peter I think the case would have continued to drag on for many more months and with me being ill was making my daily life miserable. If anyone ever needs a professional, personable and easily accessible attorney who has your best interest as his main objective Peter would be highly recommended by me. Thank you Peter you brought some stability back into my life so I can deal with my illness instead of worrying about what I was being put through.

Thank you for your comments. I strive to be as accessible and accommodating as I can depending upon the situation. With so much uncertainty in the process, I feel like I can control making myself available to my client and can fully explain what is happening and what should be expected. I am glad you felt that you were heard through the process and pleased with the outcome. I also strive to keep the fees as reasonable as possible in light of the circumstances. I am glad I was able help you get some stability back in your life and wish you the best moving forward.

The Best Advocate You Can Have

Pete Banfe was recommended to me by someone I have the utmost respect for, and I was not let down at any turn. He is everything you want your divorce attorney to be. Dignified, respectful, caring, and absolutely unwavering in his advocacy for you. I have nothing to gain from writing this other th...an publicly thanking Pete, and hopefully helping someone else make the right decision in what is undoubtedly a very stressful time in your life. I would, have, and will recommend Pete Banfe to anyone going through a divorce.

Excellent lawyer!!!

When I found myself in the market for a divorce lawyer, I knew I had to hire a great one. I interviewed many lawyers before I found Pete Banfe. He was very knowledgeable and put together an excellent team for my benefit. He listened to me and my desires while advising me as to the law. He was kind a...nd always stuck to his task. I felt confident in his defense.He did an exceptional job in preparing an effective document .Pete made sure that I was compensated monetarily and with air- tight written document. My ex did not do what he was required to do so I had to contact him again and Pete handled the ugly aftermath as well. I would, without a doubt, recommend Mr. Banfe if you happen to find yourself in the need for a divorce lawyer.

Thank you so much for your kind words Debby. I truly appreciate the opportunity to have helped you through this difficult time. I am proud of what we were able to accomplish together. There is never any "one size fits all answer" in any representation. I feel that by me understanding what you wanted to achieve and what you wanted to avoid and you understanding the range of what the law will likely allow, we were able to collaborate on the best possible outcome that made sense for you and allowed you to move on with your life.

Prenuptial Agreement

I contacted and hired Pete to draft a prenuptial agreement. He was straightforward throughout the entire process, beginning with the initial phone call and in person consultation through the signing and execution of the agreement. He told me what to expect throughout the process in the initial consul...tation and he was true to his word. The agreement he prepared was very well written and incorporated everything I requested. His fee was very fair, reasonable and competitive, with no hidden charges or excessive billing. Pete was very responsive throughout the entire process and easy to reach through email and phone calls. I would not hesitate to hire Pete again and I highly recommend him.

Always exceptional!

After representing me with the utmost professionalism during my divorce, when an issue arose 6 years later Pete was able to assist me in handling the situation. As he had done initially, Pete provided guidance and shared every idea he had to help ensure a positive outcome for me. Pete would be my f...irst call in the event of any future events where legal advice or counsel for a family law situation is needed.
