Save me from going to jail

Hired Jeffrey Sklan to handle a driving on a suspended license charge and other related infractions. He was always available for me to communicate with; explained to me exactly how the matter would proceed; told me what I needed to do to get the charges dropped; and ensured that I would have the tim...e to accomplish what was needed to be done. The case was efficiently and professionally handled, price was extremely reasonable and he was successful at getting all the charges dropped. I would definitely hire him again and I have recommended his services to others.

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.

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.”
