Hire Jeffrey!

Jeffrey is such an amazing lawyer that consulted with my family on a very difficult legal case. I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey, and I must say that I am incredibly impressed with his work. From the moment we contacted him, we knew we were in good hands. Jeffrey is an incredibly k...nowledgeable and skilled lawyer who has a true passion for what he does. He took the time to listen to our concerns and provided us with clear and concise advice on how to proceed. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed and up-to-date on any developments in the case. He opened his office for my family on the weekend to speak with us because that was the only time that we were available to meet due to our work schedule. What truly sets Jeffrey apart, however, is his commitment to his clients. Jeffrey went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met and that our case was handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. Jeffrey's dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for my family was truly remarkable. I am extremely happy with the direction of our case and we have Jeffrey to thank for that. I would highly recommend Jeffrey to anyone in need of legal assistance. He is truly an amazing lawyer, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Best lawyer I have had

I am very grateful with the service I had with attorney Jeffrey sklan. He was very honest. I thought I had a very difficult case but when Mr sklan explained everything to me in detail I was really relived. I only had a consult with him but he guided me in the best way. I would of never thought I woul...d have no problems with my case. I really recommend him to any one that thinks they can’t afford a good lawyer. He didn’t not even charge me for my consult and I am very grateful for he’s service. I will definitely go back to him i I ever do need a good lawyer.

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.”
