187 DISMISSED!

Jeffrey is a wonderful man, since day one he made me and my family feel comfortable and that we were able to trust him. My brother was being accused of first degree murder and this was this first time that my family and I went through having a loved one incarcerated for such a horrible crime. We did ...not know what to expect of everything that was going to come our way. But Jeffrey was very good at explaining the whole process and breaking it down for me and my family. He had a lot of patience with me because I would call him or text him to find out what was new. Jeffrey was there any time I needed my spirits to be lifted he always knew the right words to say. He was always on top of everything and did everything in a timely manner. He knew what evidence to use in his favor to get the cased dismissed. I told him that I wanted my brother out with time served and no felony. He gave me what I asked for. He was worth every cent that we paid for because he brought my brother home back to his family in eight months. There are not enough words to explain or express what Jeffrey Sklan did for my family and how much of a great man he is. I thank God for putting him in our path and for giving him all the knowledge he has.

HE SAVED MY LIFE AND FAMILY, I TRUST HIM.

I've hired Jeffrey Sklan numerous times over the last 10 years. I was indicted twice on Securities related fraud offences. As soon s I knew I was in trouble I contacted Jeffrey. He was referred to me by a client of mine. The most important thing about Jeffrey is that you can tell him the truth. Many ...times we make the mistake of hiding things from our lawyers. With Jeffrey, I simply told him what was going on, my problems with my business and family. He mapped out strategy for me and took care of everything until the end. Criminal cases bring along a whole set of tax, bankruptcy, civil complaints and other forms of litigation. Jeffrey handled all of this for me. When we needed experts and other legal help on various matters, he brought me the best people. On the criminal side, he saved me at least 5 years of possible incarceration. On the tax and civil side, he saved me millions. On the immigration side, he kept me from getting deported. Today, I'm starting a new family and he helped me to reach an amicable divorce settlement with my wife and helped me put my life back together. I have trusted him with my life. I continue to do so. I would recommend him to ANYONE who has any sort of legal problem.

Jeffrey helped me win custody of my baby

I was in a terrible situation. My son is the biological father and he has a DUI. The biological mother has taken the baby that has always lived with us and been cared for by us. The mother is a drug addict with rights. I have no rights. This whole scene is being played out in dependency court. I feel... helpless. I have worked with quite a few attorneys regarding union and worker rights issues not this I was lost. I was then referred to Jeffrey Sklan. I was sent an Angel to help me. He made sense of the nonsense. Found the rights. My son has rights! Wow! Where everyone said that it all went to the mom he proved my son was a better fit. He knows the law. He has skill. He knows what he is doing. The baby still lives with us. Jeffrey will always be that special someone in our hearts. I will and do highly recommend Jeffrey Sklan.

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! :)

"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.
