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!

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am happy we were able to work together to navigate the complex Court process and help get the best result for your grandson. your stance and perseverance was invaluable.

Got me to the finish line!

Mr. Banfe represented me post Divorce to finalize paperwork that was left incomplete by another attorney. Mr. Banfe and his staff were professional and courteous every step of the way. He takes the time to listen and is always available and responsive. At a time when I was beyond frustrated Pete step...ped up and worked on the problems and got the process moving along. My only regret is that I didn't hire Pete from the beginning of my divorce to represent me. If you want great representation and someone to stand up for you Pete is definitely the guy!

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.

Best decision I made

I hired Pete to go back to court with me against my ex who was playing games and using our daughter. Pete from start to finish handled things from friendly to professionally. He made sure I understood everything and consulted with me before sending anything so I was on the same page. His office staff... was awesome as well.

Thanks you for taking the time to share your experience. Although it took its time for this custody matter to proceed through the court system, I'm so happy we were able to work together to develop and continue to reassess as needed, a game plan and stay on the same page throughout. Your willingness to assist in giving me the information needed to help me prepare and persevering through the process played a huge role.
