We do it all–the process and the paperwork!

Legal Action Workshop offers our Attorney-Assisted method for a Name Change. The client represents him/herself. We prepare the appropriate paperwork and help with the court process in order for the name to be changed legally.

This package is applicable for both an adult and a minor name change.

This package includes:

• A confidential consultation with our Name Change Attorney
• The professional preparation of the Petition for Change of Name
• The filing of the petition in the appropriate court (based on your zip code). An adult name change does not require service; a minor name change requires that we serve the other parent (we serve by mail or can assist in alternative service if requested). NOTE: Filing fee is additional $435 (in most counties & when e-filing the court may charge additional fees) & may be waived by the court based on income.
• The preparation of the court filing fee waiver form as needed
• The publication of the name change for 1 month in a court approved legal newspaper NOTE: publication fee is additional approximately $120 in most counties.
• We obtain a court date; attorney does not accompany you to court date as it is unnecessary
• We prepare you for the court date

This package is for a ‘legal name change’ or ‘court ordered name change’ both of which will allow you to change your name legally. A discussion with the Attorney will determine if there is any impediment to a name change such as a criminal record or unpaid traffic tickets.
