About Ben E.
Ben E. Connor is an attorney whose academic path moved from liberal arts to law. He earned a B.A. from Brigham Young University in 1972 and returned to formal legal study at California Western School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 1990 with coursework in estate planning. Those credentials anchor a practice shaped by elder law and benefits counseling.
Connor is admitted to practice in Arizona and Utah. He founded Connor Law Office, PLC, and has led the firm as founder since its establishment. He combines his private practice work with active participation in professional groups that touch on elder care, estate planning, and public benefits.
That professional engagement is broad and long-standing. Connor has been a member of WealthCounsel since 1994 and a founding member of the National AdvisorsForum, LLC since 2000. He joined the National Social Security Association as a certified advisor in 2014. He became a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys in 2015 and joined its Arizona chapter board in 2016. Records indicate he has held the title of President-Elect of the Arizona chapter since 2017. He also lists membership in the Utah Advisors Forum and service as a drafting lawyer on the Arizona Legislative Committee of the Arizona Forum beginning in 2014.
The certification from the National Social Security Association signals an attention to Social Security advising within his practice. His law school emphasis in estate planning and long-standing ties to elder-law organizations suggest continuing work on wills, trusts, incapacity planning, and matters that intersect with public benefits. He keeps active in professional networks that influence both practice standards and state-level policy discussions.
Colleagues and clients encounter a practitioner who blends courtroom and policy interests. He has participated on committees that draft legislative materials and on panels that address multidisciplinary planning. Those activities place him in regular contact with other lawyers, financial advisors, and service providers who work on issues affecting older adults and beneficiaries.
Connor continues to lead Connor Law Office, PLC, and maintains memberships in several national and regional legal organizations. His current practice focuses on elder law, estate planning, and Social Security advising.
