Excellent.
I contacted Happ Law Group (HLG) to assist me with communications with my former husband and changes related to provisions of our divorce agreement. HLG was patient with my questions and concerns, explained my options thoroughly, supported me in my decision-making and was attentive and timely throughout. I am happy with the outcome and would retain Happ Law 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. Happ Law Group 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 attorneys.
I highly recommend Happ Law Group for family law. They are super smart lawyers who consider all of the issues before offering advice and opinions about your case. They are honest, and respond in a timely manner when you need to reach him. The office staff are professional and I never felt like anything except a valued client. I found Happ Law by referral after having a nightmare experience with another lawyer, and was already jaded by the legal process. They 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 Happ Law preserved that for us. Thank you! Also, after my previous legal experience, I thought their prices were more than fair, and they work pretty fast, preserving your budget.

Amazing to work with
Happ Law Group were very helpful through my whole divorce and custody process. They were 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 Happ Law, they were great to work with and made a very difficult process very manageable.

Lawyers 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 to find was a trustworthy, reliable lawyer as soon as possible. I was lucky that Happ Law Group were recommended to me at this point. After I retained them as my lawyer, what they have 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 them to be excellent and highly reliable lawyers. They even suggested me to avoid some unnecessary procedure. They worked efficiently and often finished writing emails and documents in a short time. Less time means less cost for clients. So, they helped me save service fees and legal costs. With 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.
Happ Law Group were referred to me by a colleague many years ago and ended up as my attorneys for over 5 years during my complex divorce case. During that time I never felt like I needed to question their competence and integrity. They always let me know what options were available to me and advised the financial implications as well. They were 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 them and the work they were doing. While I hope I don’t need family law representation in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

Huge help with my child’s custody arrangement
Happ Law Group represented me in 2016 & 2017 with my custody arrangement for my son. They were 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 my agreement. I would definitely recommend Happ Law to anyone looking for an attorney to help with a custody agreement. They were always responsive and professional. Their paralegal is also great and was a huge help as well.

Highly recommended
Happ Law Group represented me in my divorce and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a Family Law attorney. They reduced my stress level significantly as they 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 Happ Law enough for their help.

A skilled professional with integrity
I highly recommend Happ Law Group, they’re a skilled Family Law professional. I was happy with their services. I was kept informed throughout the process. Happ Law 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 lawyers
I recommend Happ Law Group to friends, family and everyone who needs a smart, honest and upfront family lawyer. They are extremely prepared for all situations in the courtroom, analyze the many options that develop and offer brilliant advice. They have a strong analytical and financial perspective, to add to their legal expertise. I worked with other lawyers during my initial divorce and they were disappointing in many respects. My case with Happ Law was complicated, covering both spousal support adjustments and disabled child/adult support. They were extraordinary in putting it all together for the court to make a favorable decision.
