Best Attorney EVER; Skills unmatched

My husband was unexpectedly detained on a 7 year old warrant that we knew nothing about. It was a highly emotional time but Jeffrey was supportive and eased our fears. He was amazing in Court and knowledgeable in all aspects of the case. He has obtained amazing results in only a couple of days! I...n a time where most attorneys only do the bare minimum, Jeffrey goes the extra mile. Eternally grateful for his help.

The Best in the West!

I hired Jeffrey to handle two of my cases. A criminal case that he did absolutely great on. Cant thank him enough, he gave me my piece of mind back and I can now move forward w my life with my son. He showed such professionalism and kept me calm throughout the whole experience. He also took care ...of a family law case for me. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone w experience and thay definitely knows what they’re doing.

A True Powerhouse Litigator

I decided to hire Mr. Sklan's services after speaking with several other attorney's with my case in a matter of days. He was the only one who took the time, sat me down (On a Saturday) and spent hours with me so he could get all the facts straight because I feel that he knew in this case of mine that... for me and my children it was all or nothing. As a single father taking care of two small daughters I needed "That Magic". I was scared to death when i went into his office, he sensed it, so he talked me off the ledge so to say and after our meeting I came out 100% hopeful. So he called me yesterday to tell me it was over and that 'We Won" and for me this was so huge. This guy is a powerhouse litigator, Jeffrey Sklan is a personality and he was and is born for this kind of work. Thank you so much, Jim

Trustworthy, honest, result-oriented. Excellent service- Real-Estate

Lawyer Jeffrey Sklan is the best in the field. About 8 years ago, Jeffrey was contacted and hired to handle a family real-estate fraudelent case, which for most would be impossible to resolve. However, for Jeffrey there was no challenge along with years of legal advice, negotiator, and man of the l...aw this was simple. Got me back on the title of the property and provided excellent service. Years past and just this year, I required of Jeffrey services and there was no hesitation had to contact him again. There are many fine qualities that exemplify him. Jeffrey is honest, respectful, confident, and dependable. I would not hesitate in the years to come to re-hire him for any legal advice. If you need to trust in someone Jeffrey is the lawyer and friend. Jeffrey and his entire team is your family, they will fight and protect your rights. Thank you, Jeffrey for your services.

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.”
