Attorney Information
Overview
“My practice is focused on planning, protection and administration. With every client, every family, I work hard to understand what is most important to them, and help them establish a plan to accomplish their desired objectives. For some, that means staying in the family home as long as possible. Others may want assistance with passing a family business and assets to the next generation. I like making those personal connections. I provide clients with strategic guidance, balancing estate planning concerns with years of legal experience in the business and corporate sector. Whether I am serving one individual, an entire family, or all the members of a business enterprise, I want to help clients understand the issues at stake and make informed decisions. Together, we identify, plan for, and protect what matters most.”
Ben focuses much of his practice in the areas of municipal law and litigation. He also handles probate and business matters.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
