Best route for LLC creation
Hey guys,
For anyone who has used an asset protection company to draft their business (LLC, trusts etc):
1) Any recommendations for asset protection companies that you have personally worked with?
2) What is a ballpark range you ended up paying for the entire setup?
3) How much is a reasonable price to expect for ongoing retainer?
4) How frequently did you see the need to consult the lawyers on an ongoing basis after the original LLC/trust model was put in place?
5) I was looking up "Northwest Registered Agent" (a company that offers all the services at a fraction of the cost) and wondering if anyone has worked with them?
Thanks in advance!

@Sumit Sehgal Although not 100% percent necessary most people go through an attorney to set up most of what you asked. There are probably people in your network who can refer some in your local area that do this kind of work. For instance, through my agent business here in Connecticut I always have clients looking for referrals to attorneys to set up legal entities, etc.
