Fabulous attorney/Excellent firm

After a thorough/reasonably priced consultation, I hired Mr. Banfe to represent me in multiple post divorce proceedings. He did an excellent job at negotiating a settlement in a way that protected both my interests and the interests of my child. His calm manner was always reassuring, but he was... also quick to stand up firmly to the opposition. He understands how stressful court proceedings are in family matters. His attention to detail allowed me to consider all aspects of our position. He gave me information so I could make decisions, rather than pushing me in any particular direction. ( I have experienced that with other attorneys.) I have recommended him without hesitation to numerous people in need of representation in family law, and have also had occasion to recommend other members of his firm. If they don't work with a particular area of law, they know someone excellent who does. Mr. Bamfe always provides personal attention and I never had any difficulty getting ahold of him if I had a concern. (I have spoken to other people who have been represented by big firms that have great difficulty getting in touch with their attorney.) I look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Banfe in the future should the need arise. If you are looking for a strong advocate that will fight for your rights and keep a level head, I encourage you to contact Mr. Bamfe. I strongly recommend him without reservation. Thank you for everything Pete!

Great attorney

Pete takes the time to review all the details regarding the case and develops a solid game plan for success. To summarize, my ex wanted continued payments that were not justified, subsequently, Pete got involved and reviewed all the facts. Pete's game plan was perfect and managed a successful outcome.... I've been using Pete for many years because his record of accomplishments is outstanding! If the case needs to go to court, he's exceptional as far as presenting all the facts and making his point. I highly recommend him and his firm.

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.

The closing of a chapter

Many years ago, I had the misfortune of going through a divorce and the pleasure of meeting Mr. Peter Banfe. At the time, he was an up and coming divorce attorney assisting my main attorney. Fast forward a few years and I had suspicions about my ex-wife co-habitating with a man, which was against our... original property settlement agreement. After a short period of time, my ex-wife decides to remarry - hence, no more alimony and child support and no need to take her back to court to repeal the PSA. My immediate thought was to contact Peter and I am glad that I did. He sat with me during our consultation and explained the pros and cons of pursuing the direction of my case. He managed the process efficiently and once the marriage announcement was made, he discussed the relevant terms of the PSA with me that required communicating to the court/judge. It was done efficiently and punctually - everything worked out and as for me, I am not only happy at the closing of the chapter, but in the decision to retain Peter for his guidance, his expertise and his consultations.

First off, I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I've always appreciated the confidence you have shown in me both during the divorce as well as when issues arose more recently. It was humbling that you sought me out all those years later. I am so happy for you that you can now move on with this matter behind you. Most importantly, I'm glad we were able to reconnect after all those years and wish you the best in the next chapter of your life!

Amazing, dedicated, Family Law Lawyer

We first consulted Pete for a step parent adoption. From the first hello to the last goodbye after court Pete remained professional, diligent, and dedicated to ensuring all our questions were answered. He fought for us to get answers and keep the case on track. Adoptions in the state of N.J. are a lo...ng process but Pete kept us informed throughout the entire journey. He turned what could have been an awful experience into an amazingly simple and stress free adoption. I would recommend him to anyone seeking matters in Family Law.
