If you think the Montelongo organization didn't do what you paid them to do, or otherwise misled you, then you need to demand a return of the money you spent.

My goal is to build a relationship that can hopefully organically grow into a partnership.

In the case of a taxpayer using more than one property as a residence, whether property is used by the taxpayer as the taxpayer’s principal residence depends upon all the facts and circumstances.If a taxpayer alternates between 2 properties, using each as a residence for successive periods of time, the property that the taxpayer uses a majority of the time during the year ordinarily will be considered the taxpayer’s principal residence.In addition to the taxpayer’s use of the property, relevant factors in determining a taxpayer’s principal residence, include, but are not limited to:(i) The taxpayer’s place of employment;(ii) The principal place of abode of the taxpayer’s family members;(iii) The address listed on the taxpayer’s federal and state tax returns, driver’s license, automobile registration, and voter registration card;(iv) The taxpayer’s mailing address for bills and correspondence;(v) The location of the taxpayer’s banks; and(vi) The location of religious organizations and recreational clubs with which the taxpayer is affiliated.

You don't need an attorney to register that part is easy, to get the Articles of Organization.

I'll admit our books were really not organized, but I received a bill for around $10k!
