Going from Provisional to Full Patent Application

Hi,
I am about to have my provisional patent run out (July 09) which I applied for through Legal Zoom. I am starting to feel uncomfortable about not using an attorney from here on out. I am told that going through the full patent app trademark, LLC etc can be very costly. As a new inventor and start up, how do people get pass these obstacles? Can anyone give me a ball park figure on what to expect if I go ahead and find an attorney?

My original question was to find a ball park figure as to what the retaining of a lawyer, fees etc would cost me in approximately.

Taco Guy, I LOVE your invention- your blog, website and your insights .... its inspiring! It is simple yet affective. That is what I am looking for. Thanks so much for the input. If you can do it, so can I!
I am going to look for an inventor group in my neck of the woods- Vegas. Thanks again.
As for LegalZoom, in most cases I`ve seen, they give a false sense of security that a person is obtaining some sort of legal protection - which is almost always false in the case of patents.
Since the first post though, I have had many opinions on this subject and the concensus is to hire a lawyer or patent agent.

I have to say, after much investigation, and due dill on this matter, it seems as if it all comes down to money, and luck. (I guess that`s true of most businesses anyway...)
May I ask Tiger Taco if he is on the board, was his patent difficult and expensive to get?
You, Taco Guy, should be a motivational speaker! This reply is one I will cut and paste and look at periodically when I am ready to throw in the towel.... which lately has been on an hourly basis, but I seem to keep pluggin along. Thanks.
