Benoit “Ben” Marc Letendre
Partner
Ben Letendre brings to law practice the same qualities that defined his military service: clarity under pressure, decisive judgment, and accountability to the people counting on him.
Before law school, Ben served as a U.S. Marine Corps officer, flying helicopters and serving as a forward air controller in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan — coordinating close air support for ground troops in conditions where the margin for error was zero. He carried those habits into civilian practice, and continued his service as a Judge Advocate in the Army Reserve through 2022.
Today, Ben represents corporate and municipal clients throughout Wisconsin in business, civil litigation, and real estate matters. His clients value him for the same reasons his fellow Marines did: he shows up prepared, tells them the truth, and gets the job done.
Ben lives in Baraboo with his wife Norah (a Baraboo native) and their three children. When he’s not at the office, he’s usually outdoors — hiking, hunting, or downhill skiing.
