Save me from going to jail

Hired Jeffrey Sklan to handle a driving on a suspended license charge and other related infractions. He was always available for me to communicate with; explained to me exactly how the matter would proceed; told me what I needed to do to get the charges dropped; and ensured that I would have the tim...e to accomplish what was needed to be done. The case was efficiently and professionally handled, price was extremely reasonable and he was successful at getting all the charges dropped. I would definitely hire him again and I have recommended his services to others.

Want patience and reliability call Sklan.

After a long hard battle with my divorce case, attorney Sklan prevailed against all odds. Truthfully I had convinced myself that my life would be ruined; however, with Sklan by my side, I was able to keep my company and my small home in Mexico. Attorney Sklan patience and firmness resulted in what w...as just on both sides. Because on the other side, my ex-wife went through many attorneys mainly for the long tedious settlement. Attorney Sklan not only kept his composure but his demeanor was passed onto me which kept me at ease through the entire settlement. What stood out the most was that Mr. Sklan always answered my calls no matter the day or time.

Now...I can live my life again, thanks to Jeffrey!

I am forever thankful of Attorney Jeffrey Sklan. I was dealing with a case for years, some of which with Jeffery. Although it took some time to get my actual hearing, I was still in contact with Jeffery and he remembered my case. During the process, I was anxious and stressed to the max. Jeffery reas...sured me that he is a great lawyer and he knows what he is doing. During the hearing, Jeffery was very knowledgeable and had a commanding presence that was felt from the opposing attorney and the judge. The outcome was in my favor, due to his skill and understanding of law. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a great lawyer.

Family court

Jeffrey is awesome!!! I had family court , ex wife has lost custody and I now have phiscal custody. This man has helped me every step of the way. Even canceld his vacation to attend court that should have been extended . Every time I would call for advice on how to proceed legally with any problems I... had, he would respond promptly. I have been in court since 2014 and always gone back to Jeffrey for his service and plan to do so in the future if there ever are any more situations . Thank you!!

A true blessing from God.....

Prior to meeting Jeffrey Sklan, my sisters and I felt lost until a friend recommended him to me. Throughout my father’s case, Mr. Sklan was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when we felt lost. Not only was he able to defend my father from a long sentence, but his self-confidence, professional a...ggressiveness, straight shooter, and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself, my family, and father. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and have the utmost confidence Mr. Sklan will offer the best representation with professionalism and efficiency to anyone who needs a strong fighter. I believe his work would, not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

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.”
