I met Ben at a networking function a few years ago and really liked him as a person — enough to refer him to a number of my colleagues over the last few years. Their feedback has always been extremely positive, so I continued referring.

And then it was my turn. My husband and I bought a house and my mother refinanced hers all within the same couple of months. And of course we went to Ben. Smooth sailing for both of us and the closing was a piece of cake. Throughout the entire process I felt like I was in good hands — and I was.

Ben has been a guide for me as I seek out different attorneys for myself or friends and family — I ask him for help and he gives me a name and a phone number, never asking anything in return. He’s well-respected in the area, as shown by the quality attorneys he’s connected me to and gotten me the help I’ve needed. He’s a great guy to have on your side and I’m forever grateful for his firm’s services.

My previous employer hired Ben for a variety of real estate transactions and tenant-landlord cases. I had the pleasure of working with him on many of these. He was always prompt, direct, thorough and professional. I also hired Ben directly to close on our home and to draw up our wills. Ben is always accessible, taking the care and time to answer all of our questions and explain all legal options and documents clearly and carefully. We have found our “go-to” attorney and would highly recommend him.

JACLYN – Ben handled the closings for the sale of our current home and purchase of our new home, and we could not have been happier to have him and his firm on our side. Ben answered all of our questions, he and his staff were always available whenever we called, they were pleasant and efficient and made us feel very much at ease during a stressful and complicated transaction. I would strongly recommend Ben to anyone who needs a capable real estate attorney, and he’ll be the first person I call for anything in the future!

My wife and I contacted Benjamin about a landlord/tenant issue. He was very personable, and honestly told us as landlords what our options were, what the likelihood of success and cost was with each option, and in cases where we had questions he didn’t know the answer, he actually said he’d have to do some research. Then as a welcome change to the norm, Benjamin followed up and got back to us in a very timely manner! He actually cares about creating informed clients, and doesn’t hide behind the “I need to charge you for every minute I talk to you” façade.

Attorney Ben Trachten represented me for multiple property closings. He has facilitated difficult opposition to reach fair agreements. He is curious, responsive, and takes additional time to walk clients through the legal process. He has a strong understanding of Connecticut law.
