Amazing gentleman

Jeffrey got me out of a really bad situation in which I was wrongfully accused of a DUI. The breathalyzer in the officers car was broken and misread the blood alcohol level by a substantial amount. When I got to the station I was well below the legal limit but was booked anyway. Mr Sklan immediately ...called the dmv to make sure my license was safe and proceeded to get my case dropped down to a speed exhibition. He is very professional and extremely efficient. Plus he has good relationships with the judges and da's so you know your in good hands. I'm 100 percent satisfied. He saved me a lot of trouble and a major headache.

Fam Matter/Divorce

Mr. Sklan has been an amazing lawyer. I hired him for my divorce/fam matter case and he was always there till the end. Always available, always answering every question I had. What I also liked about him is that he does not give you the run arounds, always straight to the point. Friends of mine hired... him as well, and was very satisfied with his job. Mr. Sklan is always advising you what's best for you. I highly recommend him, I was very satisfied with him.

Jeffrey Sklan was a God send

Jeffery came in to help me extend a Restraining Order to protect my 4-year-old son and me from my ex-husband's threats of kidnapping and on-going violence. I have been fighting for my son's safety for four years and have been through three other lawyers. He is the first one who had actually lis...tened and cared about doing "what is right." and not the money. He also is amazing in court and is a very straight forward and honest person. The whole time reassuring me and keeping me informed. Thanks to him, I was able to get a permanent restraining order for five years and protect me and my entire family. It is the first time that I can actually breathe . I recommend him with a whole heart and am extremely grateful to have him on my side.

187 DISMISSED!

Jeffrey is a wonderful man, since day one he made me and my family feel comfortable and that we were able to trust him. My brother was being accused of first degree murder and this was this first time that my family and I went through having a loved one incarcerated for such a horrible crime. We did ...not know what to expect of everything that was going to come our way. But Jeffrey was very good at explaining the whole process and breaking it down for me and my family. He had a lot of patience with me because I would call him or text him to find out what was new. Jeffrey was there any time I needed my spirits to be lifted he always knew the right words to say. He was always on top of everything and did everything in a timely manner. He knew what evidence to use in his favor to get the cased dismissed. I told him that I wanted my brother out with time served and no felony. He gave me what I asked for. He was worth every cent that we paid for because he brought my brother home back to his family in eight months. There are not enough words to explain or express what Jeffrey Sklan did for my family and how much of a great man he is. I thank God for putting him in our path and for giving him all the knowledge he has.

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.”
