Do I need to hire an attorney to create an LLC?

[Jeff L.]

I need to create an LLC for financing as well as liability reasons. This thread isn't about the pros and cons of forming an LLC.

Rather, my question is:

Should I hire an attorney to do it "right", or is it good enough for me to do it myself, or something inbetween?

It's not that I want to save every penny, I'm just wondering if attorneys will charge too much for something that doesn't take too much effort and knowledge to do on my own. At the same time, I don't want to screw it up and open myself to future problems due to doing it on my own.
