Ben is a native of North Muskegon, where he now lives. He joined Parmenter Law in 2016 after serving as a summer associate the previous two summers, and is licensed to practice law in Michigan and Wisconsin. Ben’s practice focuses on estate planning and various aspects of business and real estate law. While in law school, Ben served as a judicial intern with the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and as a research assistant to the Associate Dean of Marquette Law School.

Ben is happy to be back in West Michigan and to be part of Muskegon's downtown and shoreline development. He enjoys meeting new people and encountering new issues to solve. His strong work ethic includes focusing on meaningful and honest communication with clients and on always being responsive and accessible to them. This approach enables him to build strong relationships with his clients as well as address the issues they are facing.

When not with his Parmenter Law family, Ben enjoys spending time with his family and friends, boating, traveling, and playing golf.
