DUI Case

After getting in my first accident with a DUI at that. I felt like a chicken running around my head cut off because I’ve never dealt with the law I’ve never dealt with anything in that sense not even court. I contacted so many different lawyers and I had no success in finding somebody that was willin...g to help me or somebody that was willing to work with me and my case. A lawyer that actually turned me down referred me over to Jeffery and this was definitely a blessing from God. My first conversation with him was probably the most thoughtful and useful conversation I’ve had since I was going through all of this. He reassured me consistently that everything was gonna be OK he definitely treated me like family he treated me like somebody that he wanted to make sure it came on top of the situation. Any possible way that Jeffery could help me he absolutely did he went above and beyond for me to make sure that he could assist me with this. All questions that I had he answered any issues that came up he help me with and to be able to have a lawyer like him definitely helped me through my whole situation with anxiety with all my worries and all my stress. Jeffery never judge me about the situation or what happened he just kept it completely real with me and made sure that I understood the depths of every conversation & every court date that happened even just with us when we were reading over police report and so forth he just made sure that he was so descriptive. He was truly there for me through this whole process when I didn’t have anybody so I always appreciated him for that. I would recommend him more than 10 out of 10 for absolutely anybody that needs a lawyer. Thank you so much Jeffery for all of your help during this process thank you for consistently reassuring me that everything‘s gonna be OK because now that it’s all over I see that and I appreciate it.

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.

"Lifesaver" doesnt even do it justice. Stop reading and call Jeffrey if you need help

I had an unfortunate event where I was charged with a DUI but was under the legal limit on the test at the station. I hired an attorney without doing the right research. I got very little information from the attorney and was shocked when she called me and told me she negotiated a deal which included... 72 hours in jail for me and some probation and I needed to get on a plane the next week and fly to California to go to court. She said this was the only option. It didn't seem right to me for the charge. I was at the end of my rope contemplating going to jail. I didn't know where to turn. Someone referred me to Jeffrey and within 5 minutes on a call with him he explained all of the options and what I should be asking for. He walked me through how to instruct my attorney to get me to a charge of reckless driving that requires no jail time and has no negative impact on my insurance or life. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to him for his time, intelligence and insight. He would check in with me daily and was really made a huge difference in the resolution of my case. If you are reading this, you are probably in need of an attorney. Stop reading and call this man now. You will not regret it at all. I will forever be indebted to him for swooping in at the last hour and saving my life.

Jeffrey Sklan is a man of his word

Jeffrey handled both of my DUI cases and he did a tremendous job at it. He always kept me informed with everything that was going on and he made sure I took the proper precautions. I was referred to him by a friend and I would definitely recommend him to anyone else. He handled both my cases professi...onally and adequately.

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.”
