About John

John F. Hussell works with individual and institutional clients in multiple stages of estate planning and asset protection planning. He is a well-respected and successful corporate attorney focusing on “peace of mind strategies” - both in helping his clients pass assets to the next generation and in executing and litigating when contests arise. John is adamant that no single client “gets more attention than another,” indicating that estate planning, wealth protection and planning for the future are personal, fluid processes. He takes great care in developing relationships with each client and leveraging relationships with other trusted professionals to find solutions that fit the needs of the individual. That philosophy - combined with “24/7 accessibility” - puts his clients at ease and is a trust factor in addressing individual administrative and legal needs. John focuses his law practice on helping individual and institutional clients with estate planning, trust and estate administration, charitable giving, and asset protection planning. He has a broad range of experience in advising institutional fiduciaries and is frequently called upon to create and advise tax-exempt organizations. John has developed an extensive practice in all aspects of trust and estate litigation, including will contests, will construction actions, and fiduciary litigation. He also assists clients with elder law issues such as advanced health care directives, guardian and conservator appointments, and planning for incapacity. John’s experience in handling estate and trust matters, as well as his thorough understanding of the legal issues encompassed by estate planning and wealth protection, have enabled him to serve as an expert witness in civil actions, providing him with yet another perspective to bring to the table when assisting his own clients.
