A very special thank you for your expertise. You were very helpful and gave us great information with our situation. It was a pleasure meeting you and we look forward to working together with you in the future.
Once again, you’ve calmed my fears and given me solid answers with simple direction. Thank you so much. You are doing great work helping keep sanity in our stressful, complicated world.
Ben and his team provide amazing suppport for those of us ‘Boomers’ who are part of the sandwich generation. Trying to plan for the needs of a grade school child AND elderly parents requires the empathy and expertise that Generation Law provides head and shoulders above the rest! I recommend them to my clients, friends and family on a regular basis.
By the time you need Ben’s services, you are confused by the maze of regulation; often fighting with the differences between your state and the one in which your loved one lives; and looking for someone sharp, empathic and able to cut through the mess in an organized and straight-talk way. Lots of people out there claim to be that person. From personal experience, Ben IS!
