Best Lawyer Ever

Jeffrey has always answered my calls personally and jumped in with superb advice, very quickly. By doing so, he has put my mind at ease and saved me considerable legal fees in the process. He is a very direct guy, referred by another great attorney, and I have no hesitation recommending him.

Jeffrey Sklan = Green Flags

If you’ve ever hesitated to hire a lawyer because of the stress or uncertainty that often comes with it, let me tell you—it’s all green flags when working with Jeffrey. From the moment I was referred to him by a trusted friend, I knew I was in good hands, but what I didn’t expect was how truly easy a...nd comforting the entire process would be. Jeffrey is unlike any lawyer. He’s available to you whenever you need him—whether it’s the middle of the day or late at night, he’s there, ready to listen and offer his expertise. And he doesn’t just stop at the legal details of your case—he genuinely cares about you as a person. In fact, he’s given me advice on matters completely unrelated to my case, always with enthusiasm, never making me feel like I was a burden. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, so willing to go above and beyond for you. What really struck me was how he made me feel heard. Working with Jeffrey, I never felt like just another case; I felt valued, respected, and truly supported. He was honest with me every step of the way, always telling me the truth, no matter how difficult it might be, yet assured me that he would fight tirelessly for my best interests. That level of transparency and dedication is so rare—it’s what makes him stand out as an extraordinary lawyer. This was my first time ever needing legal representation, and Jeffrey made the whole process feel not only manageable but actually empowering. I can’t express how grateful I am to have had him on my side. I recommend him to everyone—family, friends, anyone who needs a lawyer who they can trust, because Jeffrey isn’t just a lawyer; he’s someone who truly has your back. I feel incredibly blessed to have been represented by him, and I’ll always be thankful for his support.

Direct, Strategic and smart!!

Jeffry Sloan has a direct, no-nonsense style that gets results. He knows the rules and how to bend them without breaking them, and he doesn’t waste time with fluff. When a case starts getting messy, he stays calm and focused, spotting the moves that matter and cutting out the rest. He’s not the type ...to sugarcoat anything, which makes it easy to know exactly where you stand. What makes him effective is how he uses the system to his advantage. He reads situations fast, sees the gaps in the other side’s plan, and pushes hard where it counts. There’s no hand-holding, just a clear strategy and the drive to win. If you want someone who treats a case like a chess match and plays to come out on top, Sloan fits that description.

Advocacy with empathy

Jeffery and his team provided unwavering support during one of the most difficult chapters of my life. Facing a divorce was something I never imagined and before they came into the picture, I felt overwhelmed and alone. Jeffery brings a rare combination of professionalism, warmth, and genuine empath...y. He helped me navigate painful decisions with clarity and confidence. He has a remarkable ability to ground you when everything feels uncertain—and to make you feel truly cared for in the process.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1998.

Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 1998

updated on 02/06/2010

Private reproval, public disclosure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Public reproval with/duties issued in CA, 1997

updated on 06/17/2015

A censure or reprimand issued by the Supreme Court or the State Bar Court that is not a matter of public record unless imposed after the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings. No period of suspension is imposed. The reproval may be imposed with duties or conditions.

Jeffrey’s comment:

“The State Bar release stated that, during the course of a civil case wherein I WAS THE CLIENT, suing another lawyer on a breach of contract claim, a $250 discovery sanction had not been paid. In fact, it had but the recipient (an office employee of the opposing side) kept the cash, and did not turn it over to his employer. FURTHER: there were NO CLIENT money or liberties involved, the public was not affected, and the case amicably settled. The employee died of a heart attack soon thereafter.”
