Herb:
My entire legal fee was $500. That included all the meetings I had with the lawyer to discuss in detail everything I wanted to do, the follow ups to double check the information, the filings and associated fees with the State of NC, and the final meeting where I received the paperwork, book, stamp and any final questions That's awesome considering it included; lawyer + follow ups and such. I 'might' be able to beat that (costs) because I know of a family friend who is an attorney. He might also come in handy for other music related business in the near future, at the very least; good advise is always appreciated.
Thanks again Herb, wish you all the very best :)
