Benjamin Flaherty, originally from Lockport, New York, joined LTKE Law seven months ago. After completing his undergraduate studies at at SUNY Geneseo near Rochester, New York, he attended Quinnipiac University School of Law — a school well‑represented throughout LTKE’s halls.
Ben began his legal career in Hartford, working in civil defense litigation with Varunes, Estabrook & Associates. When an opportunity opened at LTKE for a matrimonial and family law position, he made the transition, drawn to the meaningful and forward‑focused nature of the work.
Ben defines family law as guiding people through one of the most difficult periods of their lives and helping them build something new — a new parenting structure, a new living arrangement, and ultimately a new future. Unlike other areas of law that focus on correcting past mistakes, he sees family law as uniquely constructive. He views the role of a family‑law attorney as both an honor and a responsibility, especially when advocating for clients who are often anxious, overwhelmed, and facing rapid life changes.
His client philosophy centers on a client‑driven approach supported by honest guidance. Ben lays out all available options, offers his perspective, and empowers clients to make informed decisions. He believes tough love is sometimes necessary, particularly when emotions run high, but always delivered with empathy and clarity.
Ben speaks highly of LTKE Law’s culture, describing it as a genuinely supportive and close‑knit environment. He values the daily interactions with colleagues across different ages and backgrounds, noting how refreshing it is to work in a place where personal connections matter as much as professional collaboration.
Looking ahead, Ben is committed to growing within LTKE Law and serving clients with dedication. He emphasizes that the firm is ready and willing to listen, support, and help clients move forward: “Let’s get the ball moving. Let’s build you a better tomorrow.”
