Great Lawyer

"from felony to nothing" I absolutely cannot recommend Jeffrey enough. My family has known him more than 20 years. He came through for me in a huge way. Always took my calls, no matter what time and day it was. Interviewed and prepared witnesses, insured my freedom.. Believed in Mr. Jeffrey

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jimmy, who was facing prison time . We collaborated well - reviewed all evidence, reconstructed "the Crime" and demonstrated that he was not the perpetrator. A great weight was lifted off him and his family. Thank you for your trust in us.

Highly Recommended

Not having much experience in the criminal world, I didn’t know where to turn when confronted with a legal problem for a family member. Jeffrey Sklan was highly recommended from a friend and was definitely a good fit for our situation. He took my phone call right away and from our first conversation,... he put me at ease. Kind, caring and professional. What more can you ask for? Thank You!

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.

AMAZING DIVORCE LAWYER

Jeffrey Sklan and his team were amazing! Mr.Sklan took my call in between court room breaks and gave me the number to his paralegal, Sandy, she spent over an hour with me the first time I called her. I sounded so desperate she calmed me down and took time to explain the entire process to me. They to...ok the time to ensure I understood and felt comfortable with the process. They really went the extra mile. Mr.Sklan would call or text me weekends and evening and when I needed him he would always respond no matter what time it was.

Best criminal attorney

Jeff is a great attorney who is always willing to go above and beyond for you. He’s very easy to get a hold of and will always get back to you no matter what he’s doing , it can be weekends. My case went on for 2 years and he was always reliable and made sure to make me feel as comfortable as possibl...e and fought for me until the end. He’s very calm and mellow but when needs to be aggressive he will. He does his work in the calmest way and makes sure he gets you what you want. Overall makes you fell comfortable, positive and fights for you. I will definitely recommend him to others who need a lawyer. He really helped me and made my life so much better being able to drop my case. I will hire him again if I ever need an attorney (hopefully I don’t) haha , thanks jeff!!!!!!!

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.”
