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.

Straight to the point

I consulted with Mr. Sklan. He came highly recommended and now I know why. He gave me great advice about an ex who was making false legal claims. Mr. Sklan saved me a lot in attorneys fees, and handled the situation quickly and perfectly. No hesitation to recommend him to anyone with a criminal or re...straint order case.

DUI Case

After getting in my first accident with a DUI at that. I felt like a chicken running around my head cut off because I’ve never dealt with the law I’ve never dealt with anything in that sense not even court. I contacted so many different lawyers and I had no success in finding somebody that was willin...g to help me or somebody that was willing to work with me and my case. A lawyer that actually turned me down referred me over to Jeffery and this was definitely a blessing from God. My first conversation with him was probably the most thoughtful and useful conversation I’ve had since I was going through all of this. He reassured me consistently that everything was gonna be OK he definitely treated me like family he treated me like somebody that he wanted to make sure it came on top of the situation. Any possible way that Jeffery could help me he absolutely did he went above and beyond for me to make sure that he could assist me with this. All questions that I had he answered any issues that came up he help me with and to be able to have a lawyer like him definitely helped me through my whole situation with anxiety with all my worries and all my stress. Jeffery never judge me about the situation or what happened he just kept it completely real with me and made sure that I understood the depths of every conversation & every court date that happened even just with us when we were reading over police report and so forth he just made sure that he was so descriptive. He was truly there for me through this whole process when I didn’t have anybody so I always appreciated him for that. I would recommend him more than 10 out of 10 for absolutely anybody that needs a lawyer. Thank you so much Jeffery for all of your help during this process thank you for consistently reassuring me that everything‘s gonna be OK because now that it’s all over I see that and I appreciate it.

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.

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.”
