Sets realistic expectations and delivers

I hired Pete Banfe to help me with a custody order modification, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and the experience. From the very beginning, Pete was clear and realistic about expectations, which I really appreciated. His communication was excellent—he was timely in responding to ema...ils, kept me informed throughout the process, and stayed on top of every deadline. What stood out most was how thoroughly he prepared for every stage of the case. Pete is thoughtful, strategic, and considers all possible scenarios, which gave me a great deal of confidence going into the hearing. His approach is collaborative—he truly listened to my suggestions and made me feel like a partner in the process. Pete negotiated effectively with opposing counsel and helped me achieve a result that other attorneys had told me wasn’t possible. After initially hiring a family law attorney at Archer & Greiner who said it couldn’t be done, Pete delivered. I highly recommend Pete Banfe to anyone needing a skilled, responsive, and dedicated family law attorney. He’s the kind of advocate you want in your corner.

Thank you for your kind response. I am so glad we were able to work together to achieve a good result in your matter. Most importantly, I'm so happy that you'll be able to spend that much more time with your son. Collaborating from the outset on a realistic strategy was key. I really value all of the feedback and input. Thank you and I wish you and your family the very best.

Complex Custody Case

We are grandparents. Our son died in 2018. Our daughter-in-law was arrested for DUI and endangerment. We had to seek emergency custody. We needed to fight for joint custody to ensure our grandson was safe, well educated, and properly cared for. Pete was responsive, fought hard, and guided us through ...a very messy court case. We were successful and now have a joint custoday agreement with residential custody. We are very grateful we found Pete. He was always assessable and responded incredibly quickly. He even returned emails on weekends and at night. His office staff in very supportive, kind, and responsive. We have no doubt our journey with our daughter-in-law is not over. We will be using Pete in the future to help us protect our grandson and ourselves.

Excellence in his field

Met Pete Banfe almost 10 years ago, which should speak volumes. Continue to use his services to this day, when needed. Is always quick to respond whether it be by phone or email. I remember one particular instance when he was on vacation in Hawaii with his family and still found time to call me back ...and set my mind at ease over a custodial matter. Would not recommend anyone else. When you have the best, why look elsewhere.

Change in Jurisdiction

Mr. Banfe is a lawyer who will go above and beyond for his clients. He carefully does his research, asks all of the necessary questions, and gets the job done in a quick and efficient manner. I presented Mr. Banfe with a very hopeless, lengthy, and complex child custody case from South Carolina in Au...gust 2020 and asked that he represent me in having New Jersey claim jurisdiction. Mr. Banfe did the impossible and had jurisdiction changed in October 2020. I am forever grateful for his compassion, knowledge, and expertise as this has been life-changing for myself and my three and five year old boys. If you need legal representation and need someone with a fierce dedication to his clients then Mr. Banfe is exactly the lawyer for the job!!!
