Wescott Law is pleased to announce the addition of attorney Benjamin T. French to its team of legal professionals.

Prior to pursuing a career in the legal field, French worked for several years in the insurance sector. “I’d always had an interest in the legal field, but while I was working in intercompany arbitration for an insurance company I found I enjoyed the advocacy component,” noted French. “It was then I knew I needed to take the next step in my career and pursue a law degree.”

French received his undergraduate degree from Franklin Pierce University in criminal justice and history. He completed his law degree at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law, where he was a member of the nationally recognized Daniel Webster Scholars Honors Program.

During law school, French worked as a law clerk for several New Hampshire law firms, including Wescott Law, and served as judicial intern to the Honorable Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

“While clerking for us during law school, Ben displayed many attributes that aligned with our core values here at Wescott Law,” said Sarah Rubury, partner and director. “As a New Hampshire native, he can effectively navigate our legal landscape and provide sound legal counsel to our clients. We are so pleased that Ben has joined our team.”

French is now accepting cases in civil litigation, estate planning and probate administration, family law and divorce, and personal injury.
