Family Law
Jeffrey is a very kind hearted and caring Attorney. My Family Court case took nearly 2 years and Jeffrey was their every step of the way. He would go out of his way to accommodate my family and me to meet up on the weekend to go over our case with no rush. I am beyond grateful and satisfied with Je...
Jeffrey Sklan
Replied last January 27, 2024A victory after trial: Our client's case had more twists and turns than a mountain road. Her ex accused her of many things and then used every opportunity to delay things. The bottom line: she is now living with their children, unharmed and in a healthier community.

AMAZING!
He was referred to us by a friend. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. We got what we wanted and were extremely satisfied.

REAL DEAL
Jeffery and his team helped me navigate through a nasty divorce mainly because the other side refused to give it a break. Unlike other lawyers he’s always ready and willing to answer questions and reassure you that he’s getting the job done. He’s managed to get me what I want and do it at an affordab...

This case could have effected my work , family , and immigration status. He understood the seriousness from the jump...

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1998.
Private reproval, public disclosure issued in CA, 1998
updated on 02/06/2010Private 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 06/17/2015A 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.”
