Documents to Update Following a Name Change

A name change might be necessary for a variety of reasons—marriage, most commonly, but also in the case of divorce, a change in a child’s surname, and a desire to adopt a new name over an old one. Most types name changes are carried out by the court order process, except in the case of a woman taking her husband’s name after marriage, where common usage will suffice. Common usage involves documenting the new name on a marriage certificate, and then showing this certificate to the Department of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration for a new license and social security card. Court order involves going to court to change your name and then getting a court order as proof of your new name.

I am completely satisfied with Nelson, Taylor & Associates, especially Elenia M. Cozean. From the first time that I met with her, she had perfect advice and laid out a plan that worked out for me in the best way. She is responsive, organized and manages her time well. The cost was reasonable! I would highly recommend Nelson, Taylor & Associates, especially Elenia M. Cozean to be your legal counsel.

Wade Taylor was completely honest about what my rights were from the very beginning and explained the entire process step by step. The other attorney for the other half, dragged her feet with EVERYTHING and played games the entire time. Mr. Taylor fully supported me walking out of mediation after HOURS of being there and finding out the other attorney was completely unprepared. The other attorney tried to blame Mr. Taylor for her not being prepared, but Mr. Taylor was able to prove he sent her the information MONTHS before mediation. Mr. Taylor also had another extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney, Elenia Cozean at mediation with us. It was so reassuring to know just how supported I was not only by Mr. Wade, but also by the other attorneys in his office. I have already recommended Mr. Wade to several people in search of a great attorney and I will continue to do so!

Nick from Nelson, Taylor & Associates worked with me for almost three years on a change in custody and did phenomenally well! He kept me well informed throughout the whole process, and was very good at breaking down the legal jargon into plain English so I could fully understand all of the documents and hearings that we had to go through. In the end we had what I believe was an extremely fair and favorable outcome and I would hire Nick again if I had to go back and start from the beginning.

I got to say my personal experience with this company in the attorney Elena has been completely phenomenal she is a extremely hard worker very motivated and it's a shark in the courtroom and more importantly than that she does not just take your money she generally cares about making things right I would recommend her to anybody that is going through a divorce hopefully I will never be going through one myself again LOL but if I did she would be the first person I call if there was a 10 star on this I would put 10 Stars how often you come across a tourney that is 100% on your side and does not BS strongly recommend this company

I came to Nick as my sister referred me to him and I couldn’t be more happy with the results he definitely knows his stuff and puts in the extra work to get things done, I was 7 months pregnant when I came to him for his Leagal help and he made the entire process so smooth and stress free, it was nice knowing my lawyer had my back especially being pregnant knowing that I wouldn’t have to worry. I will continue to use him in the future if needed.

I came here with a referral, and with no doubt I am very happy to have decided to take Nick Gottwald as my attorney for my divorce. He made sure that all of my interest were taken care of, he was very honest with every single question I had. When we had our temporary order hearing we walked out with everything I have requested and with divorce decree! I am so glad I had him as my lawyer and will continue to consider him as my attorney in the future!! Thank you, Nick!

I am extremely pleased with the service, legal counsel, and professionalism of Nelson, Taylor & Associates. Mr. Taylor worked with me throughout an almost 4 year divorce. He was great to work with and worked out a financing option that I could handle. Mr. Taylor presented my side extremely well and the judge favored his professionalism, documentation, and arguments over opposing counsel. The judge ruled in my favor on all issues; although I wasn't asking for anything ridiculous. I would highly recommend their legal services.

Wade Taylor is the best attorney I have ever had the privilege to hire. He has helped me on two separate and unrelated cases and both cases he was on top of everything. He is extremely knowledgeable and genuine. He will not BS you and will tell you exactly what he thinks will happen and plans for things that may not happen. He never over charged me and even tried to help lower costs if he was able to. As a single mother, he was truly understanding and did everything he could to help me. I will never have another attorney but Wade Taylor.

Wade Taylor did a custody agreement for me. He was such a nice guy to work with and addressed all of my concerns. The custody agreement went smoothly I am so happy that I did it! It has made things between my sons dad and I so much easier especially for the holidays.

Consulting an attorney for my divorce was something that I didn't expect to need but it ended up making all the difference. Wade Taylor used his knowledge of the legal system to help me navigate each hurdle my now-ex-wife placed in the way. Mine was not a straight forward case but Wade was there to ensure that nothing was overlooked. Wade focuses on protecting his clients and working towards resolution even in situations where that may not seem possible. If you think for a moment that asking an attorney for help with your divorce may be beneficial, call Wade Taylor and get that help.

Wade Taylor is such a brilliant Divorce attorney! I was referred to Wade by a friend after my Divorce was finalized because so many things did not seem right. He went through everything and told me exactly what should of happened. He made total and complete sense, and I received more substantial information in my 30 minute consult from Wade, then in my year and a half working with my Divorce Attorney! I wish I would have know about him in the first place. My divorce would have ended so much better!! Wade also helped me tie up some loose ends with my divorce. I will go to him for anything else I might need help with.

Nick was fantastic, my only regret was that I didn't contact him sooner. He is extremely efficient, very thorough and made the whole divorce legal process as painless as it could be. His retainer/fees were also very reasonable (I shopped around). Could not have asked for better representation.
