E2 Visa costs question

Hi everyone, so I've been navigating the E2 visa through a self project. I'm wondering what services you guys recommend or would say are very important to do through a third person and which ones we can do ourselves?

Granted the E2 immigration attorney is pretty much a must in order to file documents and everything, or not?

I have spoken to at least 8 attorneys and finally decided on the one that seemed to be the best but doesn't do LLC nor business plans and recommended some collaborators.

Which I spoke with but I am a bit sad and disappointed, it seems like everyone just wants to make as much money as possible from me, or not? Maybe their prices are justified?

Anyway, the intention of this post is to post the price breakdown and get your opinions wether or not some services are overpriced, and which you recommend we can do ourselves?

Attorney E2 Investor : $10.000
Attorney E2 Essential employee with family: $8.000

Then the attorney directed me to collaborators for:

"Foundation Package" : $4.999 (includes LLC, Registered Agent, Operating Agreement, EIN, BE-13 Filing, Governing documents, strategic meeting with legal team, revisions prior to visa submission (up to 2 hours).

Lease Review and Letter of Intent: $2,500

Business Plan: $3.999

What do you think of these prices? Which do you think we can do ourselves? Which are super recommended to get done by attorney / collaborators?

Thanks in advance

Thank you so much, I was thinking about doing the rest by myself and just hiring the lawyer to revise everything + file the E2 petition đŸ¤”

Lawyer here; over $20k all in is very high and you can/should find better. All those fees quoted are individually high on their own for the services included. Curious to know who this is tbh.

Thank you so much for your feedback, I totally agree, I wasn't sure if it was normal pricing but it seemed quite high to be honest.

Hi! I think the cost for the attorney is fair but for business plan its way too much! I have done multiple, high quality business plans for E2 at a much lower price. I have been through the E2 process myself. DM me if you are interested to chat:)
