It seems that if I use this name change website, I shouldn't need to hire a lawyer for this legal process, especially since my case isn't a complicated one. This saves me TON of money if this is true, instead of hiring a lawyer for $1,000+.

Do you think this will work?

Its a great site for legal stuff (I did my LLC through them), so its credible and yes it will work forFirst, Middle, and last name.However, if your in your teens/early 20's....wait a few years before doing that. Unless you have some EXTREME reason to do so.

You don't need an attorney (not sure why you'd think you do) and you don't need to be suckered into paying some website. In fact in many states (assuming you're in the US) you can effectively change your name just by simply using a new name. Although laws can vary from state to state. You should probably just go down to your local courthouse and see what the laws are for your state and what youhave to do.
