BTW, I as well as many others appreciate the time that you take, to answer our questions, It's great to have someone like you in our corner.
I've set up an inital appointment with a local attorney next week, and it got me wondering, what sort of questions should I ask, what should I expect to gain from this interview, what will tell me that I'm at the right place, average rates, etc.
Holy smokes there is a lot to know, to ask.
i appreciate your input robert.
Thanks for the advice!

The short answer is, from that post: While most of those sites on line are just fine to use to form a corporation or LLC, there are a couple of things you have to keep in mind. 1) Many of them won't advise you which State is most advantageous to file in. Different States have different tax structures so you should speak with a qualified tax representative or accountant to learn the tax differences between one state and another. 2) Some of those sites don't file the necessary paperwork to get your Federal and State Tax ID's, or advise you on whether they are necessary. Again, a qualified accountant or attorney can help you with that issue.
Also, everyone's situation is COMPLETELY different as far as assets people own and are trying to protect, income and expenses of the business, etc, and only after a proper analysis of those factors would you know if an LLC or S-Corp, or some other entity, would be right for your particular circumstances.
In general, those sites, like many other things you buy on the internet, are just fine -- IF you know what you want. If you don't know what you want, it would be wise to seek the advice of an attorney or accountant and have them set the corporation or llc up for you.
I know the urge is that "I don't need a lawyer to help me out", but you can actually end up unintentionally hurting yourself in the long run in not consulting a proper professional to set up your LLC.
Actually, you can speak to either a lawyer or accountant that does LLC or Corporate formation, and I would even speak to both because the lawyer will give you advice on the legal differences and ramifications and the accountant will advise you on the tax ramifications.
Hope this helps!
Ok question for you, as you have had so many. I am getting ready to file for LLC in my state. I went online and found where I could file with my state and there was a word of caution at the top of the site. It said that I may wish to talk to my tax advisor or lawyer before I file. WHY? What is it that I don't know that could hurt me?
I have included the link to the site below incase it might help you answer this question.
