I have consulted with Benjamin on several legal issues and he always takes the time to give me several scenarios, then will recommend the best solution! I have referred him to several business friends and he is in process of working with my elderly parents to finalize their estate planning.

Professional, knowledgeable and really cares!
From beginning to end, Ben did a fantastic job of guiding us through the process and making sure there was plenty of communication. Would never go with any one else!

Great experience for our personal estate plan
We hired Ben to complete estate planning documents for us as we're young professionals with two young children and had nothing in place. He took the time to consult with us about our wants and wishes and educated us on the importance of each piece of the plan. I know feel comfortable knowing we have a solid plan in place. He was always willing to take our calls and answer any questions that we had. It was a great experience and we highly recommend him!
