About Benjamin Charles Older

Since 2003, Benjamin has practiced exclusively in the area of Marital and Family Law.

Benjamin is known for his ability to help clients attempt first to reach a private and amicable solution to their family law matters, before their case escalates into costly and emotionally damaging litigation.
