Meet Our Family

Benjamin J. Humphries, attorney at law

Born in Knoxville, Tennessee and raised in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Ben is proud to have been selected as a McConnell Scholar and received a full scholarship to the University of Louisville where he studied and received a Bachelor Degree in Political Science. Ben was then awarded a scholarship to attend the University of Louisville Law School. After law school Ben moved to Elizabethtown to be near his family and to work with his cousin John Scott. Ben then started his own practice in 2008 and then went into practice with his good friend Lewis Graham, whom he met in law school.

Together, Ben and Lewis have handled every type of case, but soon realized that the people of Hardin County and Elizabethtown could not get the enhanced type of estate planning that was available in bigger cities. So Ben and Lewis joined a nationwide program called Lawyers With Purpose with the goal of learning about asset protection, irrevocable trusts, Medicaid applications and they both have been through the Practice With Purpose Program, in which they were trained on trusts and Medicaid and asset protection. Ben is married to Susan O’Brien Humphries and they have five children, and they attend Memorial Methodist Church. Ben is also in Rotary, and is in charge of the Memorial Food Pantry which serves over 1,000 people in need with food every month in connection with Helping Hand of Hope.
