Creating an LLC online or through an attorney

[Leah Brooks]

We want to start an LLC, the fee with our attorney is over $1000, i did come across legalzoom and other online LLC services which costs a few hundred. Would you recommend this? Or is it best to work with an attorney and pay the extra money?

If you have a proper operating agreement you can leverage to create yours then I'd recommend just setting up your LLC yourself through your State's secretary of state website. I used an attorney (cost $750) for my first LLC in order to get a proper operating agreement in place. I've leveraged the same OA for my subsequent LLCs which I created myself. You can also hire a Registered Agent in your state to do it all for less than an attorney would cost.
