OK... Legal Zoom / online LLC Creation

[Alan Diamond]

I know there have been other threads along the way regarding the use of online legal sites for entity creation. It seems that mostly lawyers (who will not make $$) are against the idea. The requirements for LLC creation in NYS are fairly straightforward, and myself having some background in complex software development, it seems easy to me to generate a letter perfect LLC doc provided proper inputs, and once the software does it correctly, it has a better likelihood of doing it correctly again than a human.

Two local attorneys in Rochester were $1650 and $1800, LZ is less than $600 (including filing costs). I was looking for someone who has first hand knowledge of issues created from bad LZ documents, rather than FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) about using them. Any guidance is helpful if firsthand.

Thank you in advance.
