The Vektra team

John M. Martin, Esq. helps individuals and families protect what they’ve built, provide for the people they care about, and create a clear plan for the future.

With nearly three decades of legal experience and admission to practice in both Arizona and California, John brings a practical, personal approach to estate planning. He works closely with clients to understand their family, financial circumstances, and long-term goals before developing strategies designed to preserve wealth, protect their wishes, and provide greater clarity for the next generation.

As part of the Vektra Estate team, John believes estate planning should not happen in isolation. By coordinating legal planning with a client’s broader tax, wealth, insurance, and financial strategies, Vektra helps clients make informed decisions with the full picture in mind. The result is an estate plan that is not simply a collection of legal documents, but an important part of a coordinated financial strategy.

John earned his undergraduate degree from San Diego State University and his Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law. He began his career in Los Angeles, where he practiced criminal defense and advanced to Supervising Attorney before relocating to Arizona in 2001 and focusing his practice on estate planning.

In 2015, John was selected by the ASU Alumni Law Group to serve as its Trust and Estates Supervisor, where he mentored developing attorneys and oversaw complex estate matters while continuing his private practice. Since 2019, he has operated his own practice, providing clients with direct, individualized legal counsel.

For John, effective estate planning starts with listening. His goal is to simplify complex decisions, help clients understand their options, and develop a plan that reflects what matters most to them.

Outside the office, John is a husband and father of three who enjoys camping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
