Wondering if anyone has tried or has any experience using legal zoom to set up an LLC? Did you find it convenient and useful or not? Is there another path I should travel?

I am not a huge fan of Legal Zoom.  The rate at which they pay their attorneys and system for hiring means very low pay and low priority for their contracted attorneys.  I really prefer working with an attorney that you have built a relationship with locally that will take time to answer your questions based on court experiences in your counties and cities.  

LLC requirements vary from state to state. So an attorney conversation is worth having, even though setting up the LLC is simple. You may also want to see if their are advantages to incorporating in a state that you are not working in. My experience with Legal Zoom is that if you know what you want to do, you are good to go, but if you are looking for information on strategy and best business practices it would be better to hire and build your relationship locally.
