Estate planning is a difficult topic, as an Accountant, I knew what my Mom should have to protect her assets but getting my Mom to agree was a totally different thing. Ben took the time to listen to what I thought my Mom needed and to my Mom and was able to come up with an estate plan where all of my concerns were addressed. He has so much compassion for his clients, my Mom felt comfortable with him within a few minutes of our initial meeting.

I hired Ben in the summer of 2017 to prepare two important documents: a Durable Power of Attorney, and a Health Care Proxy/Living Will. I also used him as a consultant on my will, which was prepared by an attorney in New York City. Ben's expertise and professionalism were clearly evident throughout the processes. He answered all my questions thoroughly, without pretense or condescension, and made it plain that these important documents were as much of a priority for him as they were for me. Ben's friendly, unassuming manner, coupled with his admirable habit of responding to phone calls and e-mails promptly made all my dealings with him a pleasure. I have dealt with some pretty hotshot attorneys in my time, and Ben ranks up there with the best of them; he's the real deal.

He was there when it counted ! We know Ben for several years, both professionally and personally. Here is an attorney who was able to structure a financial plan encompassing our complicated family situation with compassion and sharp insights. I am a retired financial planner. I know expertise when I see it.

Ben Smith helped secure a claim we had with my mothers house insurance which will provide us more financial security dealing with mom's long term residence. We appreciate his handling of our claim in a very professional manner.
