Dutch Solicitor Needed

[MrsJimothy]

I am a Dutch Passport holder, I got married a few years ago and now need to change my name on my passport (to make life easier as we have moved to HK and they will only put things under my maiden name as that's what's on my passport). I have got-ten in touch with the Dutch embassy and they have told me that I need to apply to the Dutch Courts to get my name changed and that I need a Dutch solicitor to act on my behalf.
Firstly - Can anyone recommend a solicitor who could do this
Secondly - Has anyone done this - and do I need to be present?

Would really appreciate any help as I have been living under my married name for 3 years now, but HK wont accept my marriage cert as proof that I've changed my name - so most of my life is under married name and now I'm having to go back to my maiden name which is starting to confuse me.....

Tried the Netherlands forum and nothing for over a week now - any suggestions on where to post this - didn't see any legal forum header thing..

MrsJ - are you talking about a solicitor in Holland or one based in UK?

I have a conference call in 7 minutes with a colleague of mine in Holland and could ask him if you like?

I need someone in Holland as I need someone to actually go to the court on my behalf - if you could ask I would greatly appreciate it. PM if you get anything - thank you very very much.

Sorry also having a blond night so just realised that this is just for pets.. LONG DAY
