I'm 99% sure you don't need a lawyer. You would need to contact your local Circuit Court and ask to speak to someone about this. I'm pretty sure it's just the formality of completing a form, paying a court fee and that's it. I think the only stipulation is that you can't change your name to a four letter word.

In most states it costs around $250. You file for a name change with the county court that you live in and go before the judge, answer a few questions as to why you want to change your name and some states require you to run an add in the local paper.

Check with the lawyers. I think it is quite reasonable.
