What We Handle
Every Type of Name Change
Under California Law
California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1275–1279.6 governs name changes. Our office knows the filing requirements, courtroom procedure, and the agencies you'll need to notify — so you don't have to.
Adult Name Changes
Whether for personal, cultural, or professional reasons — we file your petition in LA Superior Court and guide you to the final decree.
Marriage & Divorce Name Change
Restore your former name or adopt a new surname after marriage. We handle all agency notifications including DMV, Social Security & Passport.
Minor / Child Name Changes
Name changes for children under 18 require additional court steps. We manage every detail and represent you at the hearing when needed.
Gender Marker & Name Changes
We handle combined petitions for both legal name and gender marker changes, with compassionate, discreet, and knowledgeable representation.
Immigration-Related Name Changes
Aligning your legal name with your immigration documents takes careful coordination. We make sure your filings are consistent and compliant.

After the court order, we help you update your Social Security card, California driver's license, passport, and financial accounts.
