Not knowing much about asset protection, he devised a thorough game plan, explained everything and the whys along the way and was very patient with me. He quickly executed the plan and was excellent every step of the way. I would highly recommend.

I have worked with John Skabelund on multiple LLC formations and asset protection matters, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. John combines exceptional legal knowledge with a genuine desire to help his clients protect what they have worked so hard to build. He has a unique ability to explain complex legal concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and he takes the time to ensure that every detail is handled properly. Throughout the process, I always felt that my interests were his priority. His guidance gave me confidence and peace of mind, knowing that my businesses and assets were being structured with wisdom and foresight. John is professional, responsive, ethical, and deeply committed to serving his clients with excellence. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled in business entities and asset protection but who also truly cares about the people he serves, I wholeheartedly recommend John Skabelund.

Mr. Skabelund took the time to speak at our credit union and we decided to work with him to do our Trust; good decision. He and his staff were knowledgeable, patient and thorough.

I am very impressed with Mr. Skabelund. He helped me set up a trust for my son. As a single mother, he was very sensitive to my situation and helped me protect my son should something happen to me. He explained every part of the process clearly and precisely. I feel so much better knowing my son will be taken care of if I cannot do so. Thank you!

I was referred to John Skabelund to open a trust for myself and my family. Since our first meeting, I have had complete confidence in John. The family trust process was smooth and John explained all of our questions. The trust was very affordable given the outstanding reputation that Davis/Miles/McGuire/Gardner has in the valley. John was very professional and knowledgable in this field. Since this first experience, I have used John on a gun trust as well. I highly recommend John Skabelund

We saw John Skabelund for some estate planning work. As an average working person, I am not very well versed in legal paperwork. I was amazed at how painless and quick the process was with John and his staff. I was impressed with his attention to detail and caring attitude for getting exactly the right set up for our estate and family's future. My husband has also used him for numerous things geared especially for law enforcement and their families. I would and do highly recommend him for all of

It's been an absolute joy working with John and his firm. They've been timely, detailed, and delivered value. And on a personal level, every business owner enjoys when legal council offers legal advice based on experiences that they had. That's value...

John helped my husband and I set up a will and trust and we couldn't have had a better experience. John is very professional, caring, and willing to listen to you. He is easy to talk to and doesn't make you feel like you are asking silly questions. He was very prompt at communicating whenever we emailed him. It felt like he really cared about creating the best trust he could for us. I can't think of anything negative about the experience.
