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.

GOT ME BACK TO MY HOME

Thank you to Jeffrey and his staff at Cara Services. if it weren't for them, I would not be able to be back home. They worked effortlessly, and late hours of the night to ensure that my paperwork was properly written and submitted to the courts. Because of him and his staff Linda they fought for m...e in court to get my evil ex-partner out, and me back into my own home that i secured under my name. ladies... don't ever let a man or woman move in to your house, nonetheless even receive mail there! They can use the legal system against you and try to rip your home from underneath your feet. Thank you Jeffrey, Linda and Alicia! Your the best!

What an ANGEL!

I work in the same building as Jeffrey Sklan and have always known him to be a warm and friendly person. One day before leaving I was waiting at the elevator and he jokingly said 'Stay out of trouble' and I laughed and agreed. He must be a psychic Lawyer too, because that very weekend, my Slumlord ...came over unannounced to my apartment and pressured her way in, then proceeded to tell me and my Husband that 'we complain too much and she was going to evict us' among other insults. We had habitability issues and knew our rights, so I asked Jeffrey for help. He did not hesitate to refer me to a wonderful colleague of his, Ray Hovsepian, who met with us and wound up representing us. We are VERY grateful to Ray and Jeffrey since we have just come to an agreement (which we wanted) and don't have to pay our Slumlords anything else and do not owe them anything from the past few months. We get to move out in peace and have the maximum time granted from the Court to do so. My Husband cried tears of joy and I was in shock, but after months of agony it has been resolved! This has been such a stressful time, but we are elated to have justice and take down the Slumlord thanks to Ray and Jeffrey's help. They are BOTH Angels as far as we are concerned. It's the best Christmas present ever, since I have had many Slumlords in the past and lost since I could not find or afford a Lawyer to help me. This time winning is an incredible feeling and we owe it to them and of course our overwhelming evidence which they helped us present. THANK YOU so much!! JUSTICE is our gift this Christmas! :)

Eviction misrepresent

I hired Jeffrey Sklan thru cara Services in Bell Linda the person in charge at that Office SUCKS in answering am returning calls. She charged me $1200 to file Unlawful Detainer then, she charged me $600 for Jeffrey to represent me in Court I had an excellent winning Case with Property Damage B...reach of Contract, pictures and texts of Evidence. There were 3 months I wasn’t collecting rent from Tenant. When in Court, He told me to give them 2 extra more months to move out and that her Assistant Linda would help me with Rental Assistance to collect my unpaid Rent. I Called Linda and told her what the Lawyer said and she said ok. Days after I called the office to make an appointment to apply for Rental Assistance and she never answered the phone. I made about 25 calls different times and days, left many messages and she never, ever called me back. THEY SCREWED ME BIG TIME CAUSE, I PAID THEM A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NEVER RECOVERED MY 5MONTHS RENT.

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.”
