Cost of Upstate NY LLC, and How can I do them myself?

[Benjamin Allen]

Hi BP,

I am looking to set up my first LLC per the advisement of my CPA, my attorney that does them, told me the cost would be around 1500, I also heard 950, from another attorney who still hasn't gotten back to me. My question is, should I set one up myself? If I do, what do I need to do and what other things do I need to do per year to make sure I have everything done correctly? If I choose to reach out to an attorney, whether its the one who has done all my closings in the past, (the one who quoted me 1500) or another one; would they teach me how to do it myself for next time?
