Trachten Law Firm LLC

I had a great experience working with Attorney Ben Trachten. He was incredibly kind and generous with his time, and he helped me thoughtfully evaluate the best course of action for building on my lot. His depth of knowledge and familiarity with the local area were immediately apparent, and I felt confident in his guidance throughout our conversations. He is clearly very experienced in this space, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking informed and practical legal advice.

A huge thank you to Ben and his team! I showed up to his office hoping to leave a message with his front desk. The women were so nice and greeted me kindly as I popped up unexpectedly. Ben was in the office working of course but they were nice enough to ask him if he had a moment to speak with me since I was there. As busy as he was, he took me into his office and consulted with me without an appointment. He took the time to hear out my situation and gave me the best advice on how to handle things moving forward. He was incredibly helpful and I would recommend this practice.

Ben Trachten is an exceptional real estate attorney. When we purchased our New Haven investment property in the spring of 2025, Ben handled the closing flawlessly. But the real value has been his ongoing support as we manage things from New York. Now, as spring 2026 approaches, we are looking to add units, which means navigating city zoning, permits, and variances. From out of state that could have been a nightmare. Ben knows the local laws inside and out and has helped expedite the entire process. He is very familiar with city officials, but more importantly introduced us to several contractors and service people, all who say 'Ben is the best'. We agree. If you are taking on a real estate project in the area, Ben's local expertise is absolutely invaluable. Five stars.
