Family Law

Jeffrey is a very kind hearted and caring Attorney. My Family Court case took nearly 2 years and Jeffrey was their every step of the way. He would go out of his way to accommodate my family and me to meet up on the weekend to go over our case with no rush. I am beyond grateful and satisfied with Je...ff and his team for winning my case. I would 100% recommend him to any one seeking a family law attorney!

A victory after trial: Our client's case had more twists and turns than a mountain road. Her ex accused her of many things and then used every opportunity to delay things. The bottom line: she is now living with their children, unharmed and in a healthier community.

Professional & Compassionate and Knowledgeable

Jeff was referred to me on Friday and was even willing to meet with me in his office on a Sunday to help resolve my case as quick as he could. We spent hours going over the details of my case and never once did I feel like I was a client, I felt as if I was speaking to a long-time friend. Jeff was in...credibly professional, courteous and kind given the difficult situation I have found myself in made this process so painless. Jeff and his team are fabulous and will only be using him and recommending him for legal advice and assistance.

I stopped by his office to disscus my case today. He asked some detailed questions and after thinking carefully advised me how to proceed. He also tried to reduce my stress level!

Legal matters are overwhelming, on the best of days. The stress magnifies for people when they have no access to someone who may listen in a capable fashion. There are no silly questions. It is my pleasure to discuss matter with our clients. A review like this makes it all worthwhile.

A man you can count on

Jeffrey has been my family’s lawyer in a few instances. During times that were so stressful and overwhelming he made sure to have every question and concern addressed. He’s readily available and gave us his personal cell when we needed to him from him that things would be ok as our legal matters were... escalating. He put me and my family at ease and we navigated through this difficult time. He’s gone above and beyond for not just myself, but for the clients I’ve referred over to him. In the most professional way he became extended family and if you’re ever in need of a lawyer he’s by far the best. The customer service at his office is outstanding and although the headache of can be infuriating, he helped ease our way and we came out

A Lawyer You Can Trust

Let me start by saying that I WOULD 100% use this law firm in the future. Jeffrey's response time is quick and thorough from my initial case evaluation to every call and email. He took an aggressive approach against the defendants who were my harassing landlords. I truly believed he was on my side ...to help me through a harrowing situation. Jeffrey created a well-written, well-researched case and pin-pointed the gravest offenses against us to the courts. But most importantly, he cares about his clients. He always wanted to make sure we were thriving and doing well thoughout this entire process. During our settlement conference, he and his firm clearly and effectively communicated to the judge how they would defend any counter arguments presented and always deferred to us, the clients, before making any claims or agreements. Jeff Sklan is a terrific collaborator who is well respected by his entire team. In these trying times when it seems that no one has your back, Jeff Sklan is a truly a lawyer who you can trust to make the best decisions for your case and your family.

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.”
