Put my life back on track

He kept everything simple and remained honest through out the entire inconvenient and long process. Was always there to offer comfort and reassurance that he would get my life back on track after being wrongfully​ accused. He followed through and successfully won my case. I was also very impressed wh...en the DA himself said he would miss him. Overall​, I'm very glad he was the one too get me through the nightmare.

Grateful for and to Attorney Jeffrey Sklan

I am very pleased with the service provided by Mr. Jeffrey Sklan. He is an outstanding attorney, who goes out of his way to help his clients. If he knows he isn’t able to help you, he won’t waste your time and he’ll tell you right away, he's a straight shooter. Whenever I had any questions, he would ...immediately give me a direct response, which shows how caring he is about the individuals he represents. He went above and beyond to help me, including attending to my calls after-hours. Recently, Mr. Sklan helped modify my probation (so that I could travel internationally). While in court, the Judge and other attorneys showed a great amount of respect towards him. Witnessing that, made me feel confident of having such a wonderful attorney to represent me. Friends of my own have hired him as well, and they have been highly satisfied with his style of representation. I am truly grateful for what he has done for me and my friends. I can go on and on about how amazing he is, but I will end this with saying that I could not have had a better attorney.

Amazing gentleman

Jeffrey got me out of a really bad situation in which I was wrongfully accused of a DUI. The breathalyzer in the officers car was broken and misread the blood alcohol level by a substantial amount. When I got to the station I was well below the legal limit but was booked anyway. Mr Sklan immediately ...called the dmv to make sure my license was safe and proceeded to get my case dropped down to a speed exhibition. He is very professional and extremely efficient. Plus he has good relationships with the judges and da's so you know your in good hands. I'm 100 percent satisfied. He saved me a lot of trouble and a major headache.

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.”
