Advocacy with empathy

Jeffery and his team provided unwavering support during one of the most difficult chapters of my life. Facing a divorce was something I never imagined and before they came into the picture, I felt overwhelmed and alone. Jeffery brings a rare combination of professionalism, warmth, and genuine empath...y. He helped me navigate painful decisions with clarity and confidence. He has a remarkable ability to ground you when everything feels uncertain—and to make you feel truly cared for in the process.

Divorce / victim poor & absent lawyering

All I got to say is that Jeffrey is the real deal lawyer don’t waste your money or time on anyone else like I did 2 lawyers later did nothing but take my money and broken promises making things even worse !! I was referred to Jeffrey by a family friend and everything I was told about Jeffrey excellen...t professional work was 100% and delivered with flying colors above and beyond not only did he resolve my divorce case out of Joshua Tree court San Bernardino county but he was able to calm me down and negotiate a settlement even without my proper file he was able to finish everything in 4 months when I had been waiting 2 yr already with my previous lawyers. I definitely recommend Jeffrey Sklan you won’t regret it trust me top notch representation.

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...le price. Thank you Jeffery you are a friend forever.

Amazing Divorce Lawyer

Jeffrey worked with me on a very toxic and detailed divorce for about 2 years. In that time he showed me courtesy, respect, loyalty and fought tooth and nail to protect my rights in order to reach the best possible outcome to my horrible situation. He is like a family member with a calm, collected a...pproach. This type of professionalism is almost not found in the courtrooms today. When he walked into the courtroom he was known and respected by many. He went above and beyond to attend every appointment and never missed a call or a text. I trust him so very much and have referred him to others. If you consult with Jeff HIRE him and let him guide you as he is efficient, a guardian and will provide excellent divorce council that is un-heard of. "he carried me on his back" !!! - Tomas Rivas

The Best!

I would definitely give 10 stars if I could. There are truly not enough words to adequately express my gratitude for the services I received during the course of my divorce. Jeffrey Sklan was very involved in my divorce proceedings and very communicative. All my calls were promptly returned as quickl...y as possible, I was kept apprised of all developments, and he provided solid advice. He is a no-nonsense attorney who is supportive, reliable, trustworthy and professional!

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.”
