My practice areas includes probate, estate planning, marital agreements, real estate, and small benefit corporations. I am interested in the ways legal analysis can be improved by literature and classical ethics. My teaching experience has included teaching political philosophy, law and literature in traditional classrooms, online courses, intensive summer programs, adult education and various informal settings.

Edward Rice, Landlord or tenant Attorney on Jun 22, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Attorney Happel is an excellent lawyer, dedicated to his clients' best interests and well versed in several areas of practice. If you are looking for an attorney with not only knowledge in the law, but the time and attention to deal personally with his clients' needs, then I would strongly recommend Jason.
Peter Belmonte, Family Attorney on Apr 21, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Jason and I worked on a marital agreement for a couple that was married but experiencing financial stresses in their marriage. He as very knowledgeable and ethical in his approach to drafting a very effective agreement. I highly recommend him.
Christopher Finn, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 1, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Having sat across the table from attorney Happel, I can say that he is knowledgeable in the area of family law and a diligent practitioner for his clients. I would recommend attorney Happel without reservation.
Attorney Happel takes a very cerebral approach to his family law and divorce cases. He is very knowledgeable, and his thoughtful approach helps his clients secure favorable results.
