Would you use a lawyer after having an LLC application rejected?

Rejected for the RA address? That's a new one. Usually they just reject for name conflicts or missing signatures. What did the rejection letter actually say?

Lawyer seems like overkill for a rejection. Just fix the RA and refile. Unless you're hiding something weird about the address, it's probably a 10-minute fix.

I used a lawyer after my first LLC got rejected in Delaware. Cost me $400, but he caught that my operating agreement had a clause that would've blown my anonymity if sued. Worth it for me, but I was also doing multi-member. For a single-member Wyoming LLC? Probably not.

Wait, $400 is cheap for a lawyer. Who was that? Most I called wanted $1k+ retainer just to look at paperwork.

OP, what's your actual goal? Privacy or just getting the LLC? If privacy, a lawyer mighT be worth it because they can set up a trust or holding company that shelters your name better than a DIY filing. But if you just want the LLC to exist, refile yourself.

This. Half the people on here hire lawyers to do stuff they could do on the state website in 20 minutes.

I wouldn't use a lawyer for a rejection unless the reason was something structura like a name conflict with a big company. Those can get messy. For an RA address issue? No.

Not a lawyer but i've filed 6 LLCs across states. Every rejection I've gotten was fixable by reading the letter carefully and resubmitting. The state doesn't charge extra to refile usually. Save your money.

To be fair, my $400 guy was a small-town attorney who mostly dooes real estate. He might not have known privacy law that well, but he caught the clause. So maybe I got lucky.

Also consider: if you hire a lawyer, they might insist on being your registered agent or using their address, which could actually reduce your privacy if their office is public. Read the engagement lett er.

OP hasn't come back. Probably already refiled lol.

One more thing: Wyoming is pretty forgiving. You can call the secretary of state and ask what specifically was wrong. They're actually helpful. Do that before you pay anyone.

Or just use a different RA service. Northwest or whoever. This isn't rocket science.

I'd still like to know what the rejection actually said. "Not commercial enough" sounds like the virtual office was a UPS store or something. Those get flagged.
