Corporate/business attorneys

[Eliza Parsons]

Hi, everybody! I'm going to be starting an LLC, and am still doing my research. One book I read in particular, "LLCs For Dummies", had a lot of good info and tips in there. It stated that it is a good idea to hire an attorney to help form the LLC, and looking at how much flexibility you have with LLCs, I decided that is a good idea. I started searching for some, and found some prospective ones in my area. I know I do not want someone who is too widespread as far as practice area goes, but I'm kind of at a loss to what I should be asking the attorney in the initial consultation. I rehab and flip and am planning on doing some rentals as well in the near future. Can anyone recommend any good questions to ask so I can determine which one is the best for me? Does anyone have any experience with any business attorneys in southern CA? Particularly in Orance County? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
