Eskelsen’s career centers on serving clients in both transactional and contested matters. He handles a range of assignments that require legal research, drafting, and advocacy.

Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He breaks problems into discrete legal issues and maps out practical next steps. That style shows up in file management and courtroom preparation. He aims to keep clients informed about litigation timelines, statutory deadlines, and settlement considerations so they can weigh options with clear information.
Outside of casework, Eskelsen participates in the internal operations of his firm.

At Skoubye Nielson & Johansen, he concentrates his practice on client counseling, litigation management, and dispute resolution in Utah courts and administrative forums.
