Best divorce attorney hands down!!

I enthusiastically, highly recommend Mr. Pete Banfe! Pete is the best divorce attorney hands down. I was the Plaintiff in a divorce matter and retain Mr. Banfe to handle a post judgment divorce issue. Mr. Banfe handled my case with professionalism and achieved extraordinary results!! I am forever gra...teful to him for his unwavering commitment. The ex-husband tried to gain assets of mine he was not entitled to. Mr. Banfe wealth of knowledge prevented that outcome from becoming a reality. This is why, I am compelled to write a review and share my experience about Mr. Banfe exemplary work on my case. I hope this review helps those searching for a divorce attorney to decide on hiring Mr. Banfe like did. Pete truly understands the high stakes of divorce and related issues. Mr. Banfe manifested empathy, honesty, experience, keen knowledge, clarity, and patience consistently throughout my case. His fees were fair and reasonable. Pete was not interested in dragging out my case and putting me through unnecessary stress just to run up a bill. He and his staff kept me informed every step of the way, which eased my stress and brought comfort allowing me to focus on work. The exemplary brief that Mr. Banfe prepared on my case was so well crafted that the Judge issued a tentative order the day prior to the hearing. It contained the favorable results that Pete was seeking and that I had hoped for. The ex-husband conceded and the tentative order became official. This kind of result was only possible because, Mr. Banfe not only took my case seriously. He possesses a strong sense of justice and fairness and is motivated to ensure that the legal system functioned properly. I am happy that I hired Pete!! and you will be too. Hiring the wrong attorney could have meant that the ex-husband could have gained assets of mine he was not entitled to. Mr. Banfe understood what was at stake and used his skilled knowledge of the law that resulted in an order denying the relief the ex was seeking. When faced with divorce litigation, you need the right attorney on your side. Hire Mr. Pete Benfe and his firm like I did. My choice in retaining Pete and his firm proved to be the absolute best decision! I could not have hoped for a better outcome. There is no need to look any further than Mr. Pete Benfe he is truly exceptional and the BEST divorce attorney!

Knowledgeable, practical, patient

I retained Mr. Banfe's service for my divorce. From the beginning his advice was very helpful, and he was very patient with my questions. One of the qualities that I appreciated most was his ability to craft a legal letter that hit upon all of the items requested in a fast amount of billable time. ...I feel that he helped me obtain a result that was favorable to me and was very fair. He also made himself available and met the deadlines. After my divorce there were accounts that needed to be split and seemed to stall in the pandemic. I continued to use his legal help to move these processes along. In the end, everything resolved. I am grateful for the attention and focus that he gave to my case.

Client

I have been very please with Mr. Banfe's legal services. I would highly recommend him to family and friends who need advice and counsel regarding divorce. He know the laws and is fair. He is very organized, patient, and explains everything thoroughly. He reduced my stress that came along with the div...orce process. He guided me from start to finish. His prices were fair. He is very responsive and communicates well over the phone, text, and through email. Very knowledgeable with court proceedings and Zoom hearings. I always felt prepared and was relieved he was on my side. He listens to your concerns and formulates documents well. He exceeded my expectations. I am a female who had a contentious divorce and would feel confident recommending him to any women finding herself in a divorce. If I had to do it over I'd choose him every time.

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.

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.
