LLC: Do it alone or work with a lawyer?
I've read that you should 'have a lawyer set up your LLC' for maximum protection. What are the benefits to having an attorney set it up vs doing it myself?
I've been researching the required documentation/paperwork/publications and feel that I have a handle on what is required.
Is there any more/less protection or something the lawyer can do that I cannot?
I'm not looking to cut any corners but at the same time why pay someone to do something if I can do it just as well.
Your thoughts/feedback will be greatly appreciated

The anonymity I am referring to is not legal anonymity but personal anonymity. Many people don't want their business affairs known and wish to keep one of the remaining freedoms they have away from governmental and competing eyes.
