One clear price for Bay Area name change petition preparation, filing, and representation.
No Surprise Pricing
$1,349
This includes the court filing fee, which is normally about $450, along with attorney preparation and filing support for the petition.
We provide full start to finish service to ensure your name change goes along smoothly without stress to you.
We begin by preparing you a petition packet based on your input. We will ensure that information provided to the Court will get you the name change outcome you want.
We remove the headache of figuring out how to file your petition, post it in a publication for notice requirements, and if need be have your petition served to the appropriate parties if need be. You do not need to worry about figuring out how to complete the steps required by the Court.
A hearing is not always required from the Court. However, if the Court deems your change needs one, we will represent you in your hearing. You will not need to stress over figuring out what needs to be said to the Judge as we will speak on your behalf.
The service is built for people who want a cleaner, more guided path through the paperwork rather than trying to assemble a name-change petition from scratch.

Guidance for parents or guardians who need a more organized process for a child's name-change request.

Many people do not need a courtroom battle. They need the right documents prepared, the filing path explained, and the county-specific details handled with care.

The petition materials are prepared with attention to consistency, completeness, and county-specific filing expectations.
Clients get a focused consultation and practical follow-up instead of trying to interpret every court instruction alone.
The service is intentionally limited to Bay Area counties so the page can speak clearly to the clients you plan to serve.
He'll Work With You at Every Step
Ben Rand is a California attorney dedicated to helping individuals navigate family law matters with clarity, efficiency, and respect. He earned his undergraduate degree from University of California, Davis before attending University of San Francisco School of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude and ranked in the top 5% of his class.
Following law school, he focused his practice on family law, gaining experience in the legal and procedural challenges that accompany divorce and marital agreements. Through that work, he recognized that many individuals seeking straightforward, reliable guidance in uncontested matters were underserved by the legal community. He later expanded his work to include premarital agreements.
He founded Simplified Separation to address this gap. His practice is centered on uncontested divorces and prenuptial agreements, offering a streamlined approach that prioritizes efficiency, transparency, and practical solutions. By focusing exclusively on amicable matters, he provides responsive, detail-oriented service without the delays and complications often associated with traditional litigation.
This service is currently positioned for Bay Area clients only, including San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, and Solano counties.
