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!!!!!!!

HIRE HIM NOW! Forever Grateful.

I called Jeffrey 3 years after our initial meet. He had helped me with a legal matter and although litigation is finally coming to an end he was there for me when I need his assistance. He remembered me and my situation and called me back right away despite his being very busy at the time. I was in t...he middle of a criminal case and needed him for a civil matter and he's come through every time I've reached out. Lawyers typically aren't compassionate people but Jeffrey has had my back and I am just so grateful to have been referred to him, and for everything he's done to help me in this very scary time.

A man you can count on

Jeffrey has been my family’s lawyer in a few instances. During times that were so stressful and overwhelming he made sure to have every question and concern addressed. He’s readily available and gave us his personal cell when we needed to him from him that things would be ok as our legal matters were... escalating. He put me and my family at ease and we navigated through this difficult time. He’s gone above and beyond for not just myself, but for the clients I’ve referred over to him. In the most professional way he became extended family and if you’re ever in need of a lawyer he’s by far the best. The customer service at his office is outstanding and although the headache of can be infuriating, he helped ease our way and we came out

A Lawyer You Can Trust

Let me start by saying that I WOULD 100% use this law firm in the future. Jeffrey's response time is quick and thorough from my initial case evaluation to every call and email. He took an aggressive approach against the defendants who were my harassing landlords. I truly believed he was on my side ...to help me through a harrowing situation. Jeffrey created a well-written, well-researched case and pin-pointed the gravest offenses against us to the courts. But most importantly, he cares about his clients. He always wanted to make sure we were thriving and doing well thoughout this entire process. During our settlement conference, he and his firm clearly and effectively communicated to the judge how they would defend any counter arguments presented and always deferred to us, the clients, before making any claims or agreements. Jeff Sklan is a terrific collaborator who is well respected by his entire team. In these trying times when it seems that no one has your back, Jeff Sklan is a truly a lawyer who you can trust to make the best decisions for your case and your family.

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.”
