And do you have any referrals for attorneys that work in the Pierce County incase things get too complicated as I do it on my own?

Any decent attorney can pierce it.

In addition an attorney can be a great counselor when you first start the business because they can explain the ins and outs so that you don't end up comingling and allowing the corporate veil to be pierced.

You'll probably need a dedicated bank account for the LLC so you don't comingle funds and "pierce the veil" of the LLC.

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

Plus I’ve had attorneys tell me they can easily pierce LLCs showing individuals are behind them.

If they were able to pierce the LLC and reach me personally I would have my umbrella policy to cover liability.

Hey there @Hart Turner - I am in for sure.I know for sure that @Mariah Pierce and @Princess Subijano-Cannataro are from Chicago and heading down to BPCON 204.Hopefully, we can get a few others to jump in here, too.Elgin, Wicker Parker, Aurora, Illinois, Logan Square, Lincoln Park, Bronzeville, Schaumburg, Irving Park, Lakeview, West Town, Belmont Cragin

But, in the event you really are persuaded that it is important to separate each asset, ensure that whoever is managing the books/monies on the LLCs are doing it 100% correctly as even a small mistake can allow would-be litigants to pierce the corporate veil and render all of it in vein anyway. 

This has a lot of administrative overhead, the LLCs being disregarded entities may pierce the corporate veil.
