My parents originally met with a general practice attorney to seek help with their estate planning. The general practice attorney was unsure of Medicaid rules and offered confusing and uncertain answers to their questions. They left the appointment completely overwhelmed. My parents needed to know all of their options so that they could make educated decisions. At that point, we decided we needed to consult an elder law attorney.

Thankfully, we found Ben Wright. We live several hours from Ben’s office, but Ben was able to answer all of their questions through emails and phone calls. Most importantly, he simplified the complicated Medicaid laws and used language that my parents could understand. Because of this, they felt they could make confident decisions about their future.

There are times when you need to consult an expert. Estate planning is definitely one of those times. We strongly recommend Ben Wright!

My husband and I highly recommend Benjamin Wright. He assisted us in our will & POAs and was personable, welcoming, informative, professional, patient, timely, organized. Having been our first experience creating a will, he did an excellent job explaining all aspects of it, as well as informing us of options with each decision. He is a patient listener, facilitator, and guide. We are grateful for his expertise and would definitely recommend.

My siblings and I saw Ben for a Medicaid consultation related to our Mother who has dementia. He helped us tremendously in understanding how the process works and the implications of any decisions we made. He was also great to answer our follow-up questions.

Benjamin Scott Wright

I became a lawyer to help families like mine. I came to elder law because it’s all about the biggest challenges families face: providing and caring for loved ones.

In today’s world, that means navigating the bureaucracies of law, money, and health care. I’ve seen too many people overwhelmed, unable find their way through these bureaucracies.

As an elder law attorney, I have the knowledge and training to cut through bureaucracy. Knowing the rules and how to use them to my clients’ advantage is what I’m best at. So that’s what I do—I save families from bureaucracy so they can provide and care for their loved ones.

My Mission

Save Families From Bureaucracy

“Excessively complicated procedures that prevent action”—that’s bureaucracy.

Traditional law firms, financial institutions, health care, and government agencies are full of complicated procedures. Families are forced through these bureaucracies at their most vulnerable times—when a loved one falls ill, when medical bills pile up, or when there’s no other choice but the nursing home. That’s when action is needed most.

My mission is to be the opposite of those bureaucracies: simple, fast, and proactive. My mission is to deal with red tape so my clients don’t have to. My mission is to save families from bureaucracy so they can provide and care for their loved ones.

My Values & Beliefs

Be Smart

I value learning. I believe there’s no question that can’t be answered with good, creative research.

I value writing. I believe the written word has great power to help people. I believe a lawyer’s writing should be short, simple, human, and correct.

I value accuracy. I believe being precise and detailed often makes the difference between approved and denied, helpful and unhelpful, good and good enough.

Have Heart

I value listening. I believe lawyers should listen first and talk second.

I value empathy. I believe lawyers should know their clients’ fears and hopes.

I value communication. I believe good communication is the foundation of success.
