+1 If the LLC is just you and the LLC has minimal insurance, the lawyer will come after you. If the money isn't kept strictly separate, or if you have to personally sign anything, or do anything that isn't totally and strictly to the letter of the law concerning LLCs, they will come after you anyway. You have to pay fees, you have to keep all sorts of paperwork.
Biggest problem of all....if you do not pay llc taxes (on a K1 just like a partnership) my understanding is you have to file a schedule C anyway. Either way, the tax man cometh.
If you do have other investors or others with a financial stake, then the LLC is worthwhile
