Excellent
I contacted Chris to assist me with communications with my former husband and changes relative to provisions of our divorce agreement. Chris was patient with my questions and concerns, explained my options thoroughly, supported me in my decision-making and was attentive and timely throughout. I also experienced excellent support from Kathleen, Chris's Paralegal. I am happy with the outcome and I would retain Chris again if legal support is needed.

Be Prepared
When faced with the possibility of marital separation, it is first important to know ALL of one's options/tools. Chris did that and more. Having the maximum leverage realistically available produced an outcome that I was very satisfied with. Do not cheap out on ineffective representation or "go it alone." You have the rest of your life ahead of you.

Excellent family law attorney
I highly recommend Christopher Happ for family law. He is a super smart lawyer who considers all of the issues before offering his advice and opinions about your case. He's honest, and responds in a timely manner when you need to reach him. His office staff are professional and I never felt like anything except a valued client. I found Chris by referral after having a nightmare experience with another lawyer, and was already jaded by the legal process. Chris took a complex situation and worked through it piece by piece until the situation was satisfactory for both myself and my ex. We had never wanted to have an adversarial relationship, and Chris preserved that for us. Thank you Chris!!! Also, after my previous legal experience, I thought his prices were more than fair, and he works pretty fast, preserving your budget.

Great attorney and Law Office!
This is a very knowledgeable attorney and he has a very professional office. He responds very quickly and does everything he can to keep costs down.

Amazing to work with
Christopher was very helpful through my whole divorce and custody process. He was always willing to go the extra mile in explaining every option and not just looking for the biggest payout. I would highly recommend anyone in the San Diego area to work with Christopher, he was great to work with and made a very difficult process very manageable.

A lawyer with high level of expertise and integrity
Going through separation and divorce is one of the most stressful and painful experiences in one's life. When I was facing this ordeal alone in 2019, all I wanted was finding a trustworthy, reliable lawyer as soon as possible. I was lucky that Mr. Christopher C. Happ was recommended to me at that point. After I retained him as my lawyer, what he has done to represent me responsibly from start to finish in my case, to communicate efficiently with the judges and court clerks, to explain the tangled situation and complex procedure patiently to me, to argue for my best benefits...all has proved him an excellent and highly reliable lawyer. Mr. Happ suggested me to avoid some unnecessary procedure. He worked efficiently and often finished writing emails and documents in short time. Less time means less cost for clients. So, he helped me save service fees and legal costs. With Mr. Happ's guidance and help, the separation and divorce were settled in 2021 May relatively smoothly. I am satisfied with the result. I can finally leave a traumatic memory behind and start to work for a bright future.

Professional. Transparent. Communicative.
Christopher was referred to me by a colleague many years ago and he ended up as my attorney for over 5 years during my complex divorce case. During that time I never once felt like I needed to question his competence or integrity. He always let me know what options were available to me and advised the financial implications as well. He was well-versed in the law and remained on top of all the details of my case which was reassuring during such a difficult time. I had the utmost confidence in him and the work he was doing. While I hope I don’t need family law representation in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.

Huge help with my child's custody agreement
Chris Happ represented me in 2016 & 2017 with my custody agreement for my son. He was a huge asset, not only helping facilitate all the paperwork and court proceedings, but also helping me work through my questions and determine what aspects I wanted covered in the agreement. I would definitely recommend Chris for anyone looking for an attorney to help with a custody agreement. He was always responsive and professional. His paralegal Ame’e is also great and was a huge help as well.

Highly recommended
Christopher Happ represented me in my divorce and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a Family Law attorney. Chris reduced my stress level significantly as he took care of everything quickly and efficiently and clearly explained everything I needed to do. I can't have imagined the process going smoother, and I can't thank Chris enough for his help.

A skilled, professional with Integrity.
I highly recommend Christopher Happ, he's a skilled Family Law Professional. I was happy with his services. I was kept informed throughout the process. Chris always had time to take my phone calls or answer my emails. It was a first for me and a first rate experience.

Brilliant and honest family lawyer
I recommend Christopher Happ to friends, family and everyone who needs a smart, honest and upfront family lawyer. He is extremely prepared for all situations in the courtroom, analyzes the many options that develop and offers brilliant advice. He has a strong analytical and financial perspective, to add to his legal expertise. I worked with other lawyers during my initial divorce and they were disappointing in many respects. My case with Christopher was complicated, covering both spousal support adjustments and disabled child/adult support. He was extraordinary in putting it all together for the court to make a favorable decision.
