Attorneys use anonymous LLCs for non-practice income, asset protection, and real estate. Law practice itself typically requires a PLLC subject to state bar rules.

Practice through a PLLC / Professional Corporation as required by your state bar. Use a Wyoming anonymous LLC for non-practice income (book royalties, expert witness work outside the law-practice entity, real estate, equity investments) and for asset protection.
Attorneys handle adversarial cases. Hostile parties — from opposing counsel to disgruntled former clients — sometimes target attorneys' personal assets through litigation outside the original case. An anonymous LLC keeps real estate, investments, and non-practice income off Secretary of State filings tied to the attorney's legal name.
Strong charging order protection on single-member and multi-member LLCs. No state income tax. Wyoming RA replaces personal address on state filings tied to the non-practice entity.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming (recommended) | $397 | Best balance of cost, anonymity, banking acceptance. |
| New Mexico | $347 | Cheapest. No annual report. Banking is harder. |
Most states require attorney-owned practices to operate as PLLCs / PCs. Practice anonymity is not generally permitted by state bar rules.
No. The LLC structure does not shield legal malpractice. Professional liability insurance is what protects you.
Transfer ownership to the Wyoming LLC. Confirm with your title insurer that the transfer doesn't trigger a due-on-sale clause on any mortgage.
Most state bars require disclosure of outside business activities, even if anonymous on state records. Check your state's specific rule.
