What kind of lawyer should Djinn seek out to help him with establishing an LLC? Does it even take a lawyer's help?

Any lawyer or probably a CPA who offers free consultations would be a good bet. YMMV from state to state to district as to whether this would have any advantage at all. If nothing else though, I think having an S Corp makes tax filing just a little bit cleaner and can make some deductions more defensible. If there is some advantage to this, there are perfectly decent LLC formation instructions on sites like legalzoom, and if you need any help, they have perfectly good referral attorneys.

To back up my previous recommendation, it sounds like the world Djinn operates in is very small. If he has the reputation of being selfless and being a team player, that's going to pay dividends down the line.

Djinn looked up how much insurance costs and it is making him rethink his entire decision.

Djinn REALLY doesn't want to have an unpaid Christmas break.

Djinn needs more time to think.
