GOT ME BACK TO MY HOME

Thank you to Jeffrey and his staff at Cara Services. if it weren't for them, I would not be able to be back home. They worked effortlessly, and late hours of the night to ensure that my paperwork was properly written and submitted to the courts. Because of him and his staff Linda they fought for m...e in court to get my evil ex-partner out, and me back into my own home that i secured under my name. ladies... don't ever let a man or woman move in to your house, nonetheless even receive mail there! They can use the legal system against you and try to rip your home from underneath your feet. Thank you Jeffrey, Linda and Alicia! Your the best!

I'd give 20 stars if I could!

Jeffrey came as a recommendation from an attorney friend of mine. After our first conversation, I felt a massive weight off of my shoulders! Jeffrey's knowledge of family law, and law in general, put my mind at ease. Even though Jeffrey ultimately couldn't take my case because of a scheduling conflic...t, he still continued to answer my calls/texts/emails, even on the weekend. He also would follow up with me on things, even though he wasn't paid. So if you are looking for an intelligent attorney who has your back and will prioritize you, Jeffrey and his team are the way to go. I will undoubtedly be hiring Jeffrey for all future work!

Super Responsive. !!!

First time we spoke, he put in a plan of action immediately. Then, found me superb council in another state where he is not admitted. A no nonsense guy he followed up with me every step of the way. Very easy to talk with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Jeffrey Sklan!

My family's business was facing some difficult and challenging times. I felt completely lost and didn't trust anyone with our case. One of our family member's referred Jeffrey Sklan to us and I'm so thankful he did. He immediately made us feel comfortable & trusting. He took care of business immediat...ely. Jeffrey was very successful with our case and took care off all our problems in short amount of time. Jeffrey Sklan is the BEST!

Incredible Lawyer!

Jeffrey was recommended to me by a family member and I couldn't have found someone any better to help me. He took the time to reassure me with great advice on my case. He responded to my calls and texts in an effective manner with great urgency. He worked at a fast pace and got to work even while I w...as in his office and followed up with law enforcement. It's been a stressful and difficult time for me and Jeffrey made it tolerable. I am very thankful to him and highly recommend him to anyone who's in need.

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.”
