This area covers the steps people take to change how their name appears on official documents and records, typically starting with a surname or forename change for adults or children. It includes when a deed poll or statutory declaration is used, and what happens when the change relates to linking identity with employment, banking, or family life. A solicitor in this area helps you prepare the necessary documents, guides you through eligibility, and handles any required notices or applications. The work may hinge on procedural steps, timing, and official acceptance by relevant registers.

“Emily first spoke to me on the phone when I was looking for a solicitor and I could tell from her tone and words that she understood I was in pain and in need of help. She was professional yet human throughout. She helped me navigate difficult times and I was grateful for her honesty and guidance.”

“Jelena proved herself to be an exemplary human being. She witnessed me in different ways of emotion and, female to female was most understanding and empathetic (although I'm perfectly sure she treats everyone equally). Very thorough and professional and a very genuine lady. She really felt for me, I could tell. A very relatable lady, no matter who you are/your background etc. etc. I recommend her to anyone and everyone and feel exceedingly lucky to have had her as my Solicitor. Generally on the end of her phone and if not, called back. My review may be considered 'Over The Top' but I am being genuine here. Tell Jelena your truths, fears and worries, be open and honest with her.”
