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.

Exceptional Professionalism; Reputable Representation

I owe an unlimited debt of gratitude to Attorney Jeffrey Sklan. From the onset he allayed my fear and anxiety by his caring professionalism and precise knowledge of what it would take to put my live back together through a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Jeffrey was always on top of what the court require...d and kept me meticulously accountable to what was required of me. He lent invaluable assistance at the time of despair and transparently brought to light any detail that was not understood. I was most appreciative of the fact that Jeffrey seemed well respected by the Judge and the representative from the US Trustee. For that reason I felt secure and confident, knowing that I was affiliated with a highly reputable law firm. I am most grateful for Jeffrey’s kindness, his impeccable professional relationship that was based solely on mutual respect, integrity, trust and caring.

Domestic Violence Restraining Order

In the middle of a pandemic I had been thrust into a terrible separation from my child’s father and my small child was caught in the middle of it all. Jeffrey came highly recommended as a family law attorney. They said he was the best. As a black woman I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure that Jeffre...y would have the understanding and empathy I needed as I had never been in this situation before. Due to Covid-19 our case had been postponed several times but Jeffrey weathered all of the delays. He returned my calls and emails, and took me through the process with patience. Most importantly he considered my infant child through it all. As a client I took every precaution and made sure I informed Jeffrey of all of my concerns and although he was very busy at times he listened and made sure that my concerns were considered by the judge. During the hardest experience of my life Jeffrey listened, he used his girth of experience to advise me and he carefully took myself and my child into consideration in the courtroom.

Posted by Elizabeth | October 06, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Lawyer, mentor and friend.

I wanted to start by saying this is not a paid comment/review. I am writing this from the bottom of my heart. I am a single mother to a non verbal autistic 4yr old boy. I have lupus. Bad. My sons father decided to abandon his boy during a global pandemic. No contact. No child support. I was alone a...nd worried sick. No parent should ever have to decide between groceries or diapers. Jeffrey not only made me feel like family, he came through on every single word he said. Jeffrey is detail oriented, quick witted and extremely respectful. He exudes positivity with every passionate word he speaks. If you are looking for sincere dedication and attention to matters that are important and can be life defining, please look no further. His staff is absolutely amazing as well. This man truly went to bat for me in court recently. As soon as we won our battle, instead of taking all the credit, which he should have, he immediately told me how proud he was of me, for standing my ground, He assured of what a great parent I am. He was relentless. He made it clear to the judge that he had cleared his schedule for the day and was willing to spend the time to make sure my son got every single thing he needs and deserves. And because of our big win I now have enough money in child support and back child support for my son and I to move into a home, by the beach, with a yard. Its hard to convey how full my heart is. The weight that has been lifted. I can not articulate just how incredibly happy and blessed I am that I have Jeffrey on my side. With another lawyer who knows what might have happened. But most importantly my son and I made a friend for life along the way.

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.”
