Also, you may want to explore setting up as an LLC (Limited Liability Corp.) for personal liability and tax reasons.

I am sure many of us on the list have names they could suggest. Mine for an attorney in your area is Rebecca Freeman. She is a very smart lawyer, and could certainly head you in the right direction. Please let me know if you need her contact information.
