John is the owner of Skabelund, PLLC. His practice focuses on asset protection. Utilizing various tools, he enables his clients to protect their wealth from lawsuits while also reducing federal estate taxes and promoting family harmony. His clients are typically real estate investors, business owners, executives, high profile professionals (doctors, lawyers, professional athletes, actors, etc.), or have inherited/won a large sum of money.
