Good advice (to be a Sub S), but you can do this yourself. I did, many
years ago. I don't even recall how I did it, but I think you can
probably just call the Florida Dept of State, and they'll tell you/send
you want forms to fill out. Cost is $150 per year.
Also, I once considered incorporating in Delaware, which I hear is very
friendly to corporations. I didn't because it complicates doing business
in Florida. You still have to pay Florida, so I don't think there's much
benefit to incorporating elsewhere.

Judging by what you've said, you likely don't need a technical lawyer.
Just a contract lawyer.
