About the Firm

A boutique Colorado firm.
Specialized. Personal.
Here since 1990.

Fleisher Patterson Law was founded by Stewart W. Fleisher in 1990 with a simple thesis: that estate planning, trust administration, and probate, done well, require the kind of attention only a specialist can offer. More than three decades and three thousand families later, that’s still all we do.

Where We Came From

A boutique built on referrals.

Stewart spent more than thirty years specializing in estate planning, long enough to write for the Colorado Lawyer and to teach the subject to attorneys from across the country. He built the relationships and the foundation the firm still stands on today.

He officially retired in July 2019, but he never really left. He still consults regularly with Ben on the cases that benefit from his depth of experience, which means clients keep getting the kind of representation they came to expect during his years in practice. He winters in Tucson and summers between Denver and Breckenridge.

Today the firm is led by Ben Patterson, with operations and client work run by Conner Wessel. Between them, every client gets the boutique attention Stewart designed the practice around, with the modern systems and pacing a firm needs in 2026.

The Team

Two people. Available, accountable, on the line.

When you call Fleisher Patterson Law, you reach Ben or Conner, not an intake desk, not a junior associate. That’s the whole point.

How We Work

Five promises we put in writing.

A few commitments we make to every client — not because they look good on a website, but because they’re the only way to build a practice that families trust enough to refer their parents to.

01

Fixed-Fee Pricing

Quoted in writing before we begin. The number you see is the number you pay, regardless of how many calls, edits, or signings it takes. No retainers. No hourly billing for routine matters. No invoice surprises.

02

100% Satisfaction

If you aren't fully satisfied after we review your documents with you, we refund anything you've paid, or we make any changes you ask for before you sign. No questions, no negotiation.

03

Every Deadline. Every Time.

When we put a date in writing, that's when it lands. Probate court doesn't accept “we got busy,” and neither do we. Conner's job is mostly to make sure we never have to.

04

Quality Work

We take real pride in what leaves our office. If anything in your documents falls short of what you expected, tell us. We'll correct it immediately, no charge, no excuses.

05

30-Day Review

For thirty days after you sign, any changes you ask for are on us, even if it means re-signing every document. The plan is yours; we want it to fit.

Client Reviews

In our clients’ words.

“Ben and his team did an amazing job with our estate planning and documents. Ben guided us through potential scenarios and decisions that we didn’t know to consider. This ensured our plan was comprehensive and accurately represented our final wishes. He does a great job of being empathetic while also remaining fact-based.”

“Ben and Conner make estate planning easy, understandable and seamless from start to finish. With a daunting process and often difficult decisions to be made, it was nice to be able to have things explained simply through a process that was easy to follow. My spouse and I can now rest assured that our wishes are concrete and families taken care of, should anything happen to either of us. Thank you, Ben and Conner.”

“I had the privilege of working with Ben Patterson during my estate planning process, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. He demonstrated a deep understanding of estate planning laws. The explanations were clear, concise, and tailored to my specific needs. I felt confident throughout the entire process. He took the time to listen, answer my questions, and address any concerns. I appreciated his empathy and patience. The guidance was invaluable, and I highly recommend Ben.”
