Changing from ocpatentlawyer.com to www.ocpatentlawyer.com

[jamesjd8]

I want to change my web address from ocpatentlawyer.com to www.ocpatentlawyer.com.  My understanding is that google treats these two web addresses as different web addresses.

My blog is a pr 5 website.  I don't want to make the switch and find out that google no longer ranks my pages and posts anymore.

It should be fine - your site is built in wordpress, and you can just change your wordpress setting to show as www. instead of without the www - make sure your site is configured to 301 redirect to the www version, and you should be fine as far as the search engines are concerned.
