I joined the Surprenant & Beneski, P.C. in 2005, working for more than 10 years as a case manager prior to becoming an attorney.I am proud to be the team leader of our Medicaid Planning team. I help families navigate the process, ensuring that the person needing Medicaid to off-set the expense of their care becomes eligible while maintaining the lifestyle of the spouse remaining at home. Additionally, I work to help to protect and preserve assets for future generations.

I am a partner in the lawfirm of Surprenant & Beneski.  Our firm was founded by my father, Bob Surprenant, and my partner is my sister, Michelle Beneski.  We focus in protecting client assets in the areas of Estate, Tax, Medicaid and Special Needs Planning.  I take great pride in working with families and individuals in protecting their hard-earned life savings and treating each client with dignity and respect through the process.  We also focus on maintaining an ongoing relationship, so that your plan continues to work for you.

I am a partner at the family owned and operated law firm Surprenant & Beneski, P.C. with locations in New Bedford, Hyannis and Easton Massachusetts.  I love helping families solve complex problems.  Whether it is estate planning for a young couple or a retiree or crisis Medicaid planning when someone is about to go into a nursing home, our clients face difficult and complex decisions.   We have created a special place here at Surprenant & Beneski, that doesn’t look or feel like an impersonal law firm.  What we do is very personal for clients.   Both myself and my partner, Dan Surprenant, are certified as Elder Law Attorneys by the National Elder Law Foundation. That makes our team uniquely qualified to help find the right solution for each family.. Personally, I am a mother of four children, Jenna, Renee Alex and Eric.  I am married to my high school sweetheart, Joe, and we live in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.  Outside of work, I have very little free time.   I wish I could say I had hobbies but most of my free time is spent going to my kids’ activities such as karate, soccer, scouts, etc.  I have been a girl scout leader for the past 9 years.  I am on the Board of the New Bedford Symphony.  I love to travel, especially with my family so that we can enjoy new places together.  In the past several years we have gone to Denver, Colorado, San Diego California, Cape Cod and Florida.  I love good wine, tea, Chesuncook Maine, warm weather, and a good book.
