We also assist clients in their wills and estate planning needs, including the creat

We handle name changes for individuals, couples and children who seek a change of name to fit their familial or gender identity. Finally, we assist clients through the probate process. COVID-19 Message: In order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, all employees, clients and visitors to our office are required to wear a mask at all times. Our office is located in a small ranch house and we meet with clients in the conference room located next to the reception area. Inside the conference room, we maintain a social distance of six feet, as advised by the CDC. Whenever possible, we will hold meetings via Zoom at the client’s option, including all initial consultations.
