Trustworthy, Professional, Understanding and Logical

Where to begin… I had been dealing with a 3 year long child custody litigation with my former lawyer and was recommended Mr. Sklan from my spouses friend. I reached out to about 10 other attorneys and nobody really stood out like Jeffrey. What a life saver this guy and his team are. He saved so much ...time , energy, stress and money with his quick, logical & concise expertise. He is no doubt one of the most seasoned and well priced attorneys in the Southern California market and my daughter and I are so beyond blessed to have met him and represented by him. He is punctual, intelligent, kind, and professional. He understands the fundamentals of how family law and he knows everyone around and their reputations. Very personable , very humble, reasonable & patient. If you hire Mr. Sklan and his team , you are in the best hands. I spent years (which I’ll never get back) and tens of thousands of dollars with my prior attorney and got literally nowhere after 3 years… Jeffrey and his team knew the appropriate strategies to mitigate headache , heartburn and trauma over family law cases and truly are there to help. They are problem solvers are are not trying to bill you by the hour. They truly do care. I wish more lawyers were as ethical as Jeffrey and his team.

Outstanding Legal Representation During the LA Fires

I am incredibly grateful for Jefffrey and his unwavering commitment to my Family Law case, especially considering the difficult circumstances during the LA fires. I had court 1/7/25 and 1/8/25 and Jeffrey made it to both hearings. Even with the chaotic and dangerous conditions in the area, Jeffrey we...nt above and beyond, ensuring that my case was handled with the utmost care and attention, regardless of the external challenges. Not only did Jeffrey keep me informed and prepared throughout the process, but he also took the extra step of showing up in court during an exceptionally trying time. His professionalism and determination was truly remarkable, and it gave me peace of mind knowing I had someone so dedicated to my best interests. In a time of uncertainty and stress, Jeffrey remained calm, focused, and reliable, making sure my case continued to progress without delay. I’m grateful for his hard work and perseverance and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation, especially during tough circumstances.

Jeffrey is a life savor!

This was my first time needing a lawyer so of course I was nervous about the whole process. After my first session with Jeffrey all my fears went away because it was obvious to me that he is a master at what he does. Every step of the way he was there to fight for us and he always delivered on what w...e said the outcome would be. We had our first court date at the beginning of the corona virus lock down. The judge pushed back our court date 3 times. Every time we appeared in court it was during the lockdown Jeffrey was there every time ready to defend us. Always with a good attitude and ready to fight for us. In the end he delivered in a big way for us. I highly recommend Jeffrey!

Makes you feel better immediately

Jeffrey Sklan has been my attorney 5+years. He’s easy to work with, always making me feel like it’s something that can be worked out. He takes my calls immediately or he always gets back to me. He keeps me in the loop about what’s going on with my case(s). He has gotten me reduced sentences. He has... negotiated settlements for me and handled those payments to my debtors directly, leaving me out of that part of the legal process. His rates are more than reasonable. I’ve referred friends and family to him. If he couldn’t take care of their needs, he refers them to the correct profession than can handle those needs.

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.”
