Attorney Proto helped me with a zoning issue. He was very professional and well versed with all the zoning regulations. He was able to bring this matter to a positive conclusion for me. Very satified.

Mr. Proto was hired to represent my family regarding a real estate dispute. Mr. Proto did a wonderful job in preparing for this, took special care in his explanation as he unraveled the information making it easy to understand. He managed to resolve the issue with an unexpected settlement in our favor. He is knowledgeable and always very responsive to all of our questions. I will use Mr. Proto again and highly recommend him.

Mr. Proto was hired to represent my company in a tax dispute with a town regarding the Sewer Use Tax charged. Mr. Proto did a wonderful job in preparing for this as the information was not clear to the town or us. Mr. Proto took special care in his explanation as he unraveled the information making it easy to understand and therefore resolving the issue. I will use Mr. Proto again to represent the company should this comes up again.

Ben is a smart, thorough, tireless advocate for his clients. But perhaps his best quality is taht he thinks more like a busienssman than a lawyer. I recommend him enthusiastically and unequivocally.
