Need for Attourneys

[stevenf]

Seeing the other thread got me thinking about my business. I have the DBA registered, I have the business license, I have liability insurance, and I have a checking account opened in the business name. I registered the DBA as a sole proprietor.
Next year I will want to go with an LLC. However, Im confused as to why people get attourneys to do this. Isnt it as simple as registering the business name as LLC?

Go down to Louisiana Sec. of State's office,(Located on Essen if you live in B.R.) file for an LLC $70, to have it done on the spot is an additional $30. then go upstairs to the state tax office fill out a few papers, call the IRS to get your Fed tax ID number, the go to the parish office to get a parish Occupational license....took about 3 hours total for start to finish including travel time.....

Don't forget about bookkeeping? Your reports to the IRS and State

I already have everything done except the llc. I'm a sole pro. So all I have to change is the dba?
