About
I Focus on clients and their issues in a practical and goal oriented way. I aim for a particular outcome based on what the client requires. Sometimes that’s money. Sometimes it’s “other”, like a town approval or a tenant out of their unit.My goal is always to resolve matters to my client's full satisfaction in a timely manner, within the bounds of what the law allows. Whether that is through negotiation, or litgation, or some other alternative, I have the experience to guide my clients to successful resolutions of their matters, or to connect them with other professionals who can do so. As a (relatively) young and social lawyer, I am active in the community and have developed a network of trusted, qualified legal professionals (lawyers, outside paralegals, legal advisors) who handle matters that I do not. I also have a deep network of other professionals like realtors, banks, accountants, investment advisors, non traditional funders, mortgage originators, inspectors, surveyors and environmental consultants that I work with on a regular basis who treat my clients respectfully. These personal relationships make a big difference in cost, quality, and outcome. I also have the wonderful asset of working with my father and his 50 plus years of experience, so when I have a question, I can always consult with him. I hope to continue the tradition of excelence that my father has delivered for over half a century.Lastly, I am deeply committed to my City, New Haven. (I love Connecticut and all it’s towns and cities too but New Haven is my #1) I have lived here for 38 years and have no intention of ever leaving. Through the zoning work I do I want to shape the physical future of New Haven for the better. Particularly, I support responsible development without unnecessary oversight or interference by anyone or anything that shouldn’t get the opportunity to erect barriers in the way of someone trying to better this City. I support the vested rights of land owners and the logical extension of those deeply important rights; development, full use, minimal interference, and so much more.I have learned that much of being good at a job, any job, is having the personal connections with all the people that influence the outcome of a matter. At this point in my career, I think I have those relationships in place and have earned the trust from the people I interact with regularly. I aim to grow these relationships every time I meet someone new and I think it’s working. I have contact with true decision makers in government and politics and use those relationships to the benefit of my clients without apology. I maintain these relationships in a deeply honorable and appropriate way in full compliance with legal requirements and ethical standards. But I think my honesty and openness with those in “power” makes me a credible and believable partner and I expect the same honesty and integrity from my clients.

After consultation,I hired Mr. Trachten, for a real estate problem.He could not have been more helpful and paticent with my sister and I.He answered all of our questions and then some. It felt more like we were with a friend than an Attorney.He took care of the work we needed done and the rate was more than reasonable.I highly recommend anyone needing an Attorney ,with expertise in his areas look no further than Benjamin Trachen. Thank you again for all your help
We bought our house in Milford CT directly from the seller with no realtor .We used attorney Trachten as our representative and we couldn't be happier. Ben was at all times professional, courteous and helpful. He always took ample time to explain things to us and to offer us wise counsel when our sellers had some difficult asks. I would use Ben again without hesitation.
Ben graciously took time out of his weekend to talk to me about my rights as a tenant when my landlord unexpectedly decided to sell. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. Very grateful for his help and highly recommend his services!
Ben is an amazing attorney with a specialty in zoning law and compliance. Ben is very well connected and is an asset to our company!
Attorney Benjamin Trachten is a highly skilled attorney, and has been handling my landlord/tenant real estate cases for 4 years now. He follows up and follows through. He is proficient, knowledgeable and efficient. He is on time, thinks of possible scenarios to best provide you with logical roads to deliver the most positive outcomes. He provides you with details to your case, and answers with a high level of confidence and competence, delivering results to questions you didn't even thing to ask. He is relatable and accessible because he not only quickly responds to emails but also answers the phone when you call! Thank you Atty Trachten for your consistent level of professionalism and expertise.
I found Ben on Google and am so glad I did. He’s gone above and beyond to help me protect myself in a stressful situation with my landlord. Ben is easy to talk to and easy to reach. I know I can rely on him, and his genuine empathy really makes a difference. It can be hard to know how to gauge a good lawyer when you’re searching online, but Ben Trachten is a gem. I feel lucky to have made this connection and would recommend him without question.
I reached out to Ben for assistance with a relatively small civil matter. After making inquiries to several other firms with no response whatsoever, I was very pleased when Ben himself answered my call, immediately and after standard hours. Ben listened attentively to my issues, making certain that he not only understood, but that I felt heard. Ben is easy to talk with and shows remarkable empathy. He also demonstrates great proficiency and expertise in matters of law in a relatable matter. After our conversation I clearly understood the issues and the steps I needed to take next, and Ben made sure I knew his door would be open herein. It is my great pleasure to recommend Ben to you!
Gave me great and clear legal advice on how to move forward with pursuing my security deposit and damages from landlord

His Extremely creative and intelligent, diversified in skillset and witty. Overall, Ben is a 10-10 to deal with personally and in execution.
