Broad & Discrete Counsel
Ben Meek provided my family with diverse counsel, including estate planning, incorporating and criminal defense. He consistently invested a great amount of time listening to me and my family members, exploring the important background with good questions, identifying our goals/needs. Then he built reasonable, exceptional expectations and exceeded them.
Ben offers me advice, both personally and professionally, and I count him among my closest advisors.

Professional, Helpful, Respectful
Ben helped my wife and I put together all the legal documentation needed in case anything happened to us. He was very helpful and patient with us – new parents who didn't quite understand all of the laws and details surrounding wills, living wills, etc. I would highly recommend Ben. He was very professional, friendly, meticulous and thorough.
