What Can An LLC Lawyer Help You With?
An Limited Liability Company (LLC) lawyer is a professional that assists businesses during formation, mergers, and acquisitions.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire An LLC Formation Attorney In The U.S.?
The cost of an LLC attorney depends on several factors, including your location, how complex your business is, and the number of members that will be in your LLC.

What Does LLC Stand For In Law?
LLC stands for Limited Liability Company. It’s a business structure designed to prevent members from being held personally liable for debts and lawsuits incurred by a company. Since LLCs are not taxable, it’s considered a “pass-through” entity, meaning that while losses and profits are filed on personal income tax returns, owners can’t be held liable on an individual basis for anything the business owes.
Is An LLC A Good Idea?
To figure out whether an LLC is suitable for your company, it’s best to consult an LLC formation attorney. Generally, LLCs work well for small businesses since they offer tax benefits and require minimal recordkeeping.
Do I Need A Lawyer To Start An LLC?
While you don’t technically need to hire an LLC lawyer to form an LLC, it makes the process much easier. A lawyer will guide you through the process of filing important documents (like an Articles of Organization with your state), ensure all records are error-free and properly maintained, and provide ongoing legal advice.

"Jason did a great job with our opening call but upon my commitment to working with him things went downhill. Until I communicated frustration with the quality of the work being produced, he didn’t step in. After sharing my frustration with us being behind the deadline and the silly mistakes that were made during edits, he stepped up and delivered a quality operating agreement and formation agreements."
