We are unique among estate planning attorneys in that we litigate estate planning and trust issues. Handling matters in litigation strengthens our understanding and ability to help prevent the need for litigation.

I am a estate planner and civil litigator in private practice and a trial advocacy undergraduate and law school faculty member. I specialize in estate planning and probate, wills and trusts, and wills and trust litigation. I work on publications mostly surrounding trial issues and property law.

"I've worked with Ben as an attorney and as a Trial Instructor at the law school.
I've seen first hand his ability to analyze a situation, then apply the appropriate litigation strategy both "on the fly" and from his office."
Probate Attorney | May 25
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I wholeheartedly endorse Ben to anyone looking for help with a probate matter. He is a skilled writer, knowledgeable about the law, and one of the most gracious, friendly people I know. That said, if a matter must be resolved in court, Ben is a force to be reckoned with and should not be underestimated. Ben and I have worked on some cases together, so I have experienced first-hand that it is far better to be working with Ben than against him."
