How do I expedite my name change?
If you filed and haven’t heard back, you likely need to set it for a hearing. You can speak with the clerk of court or judge to get it scheduled, especially if all your documents were submitted. Then you can go before the judge to explain why the name change should be granted.

How do I get my name change completed quickly?
Are there any specific deadlines or time constraints you're working with?
In the next month would be preferred.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you?
Yeah, I did this petition over two months ago.
