I've started a consulting shop here in VA, and initially did it through one of the cheaper online one-stop-legal-shops (I think I used LegalZoom) -- and initially formed as an LLC. We later, after getting our feet under us and actually consulting a lawyer (I can recommend a good law firm with strong tech background in NoVA, if that's where you are) we ended up re-organizing as an S-corp (not an LLC) for several reasons.
Long story short: I'd spend a couple hundred bucks to get a lawyer's input on your own situation and make sure you're getting set up right out of the gates.
