I don't think his lawyer is an idiot. We don't know what rjett told him. Sure, if you're immediately going to get funding, a C-Corp in Delaware is great. If you're just starting your own company, an LLC saves you a ton of dough. There's no reason to pay to incorporate in Delaware if you're not going to raise funds right away or if you're not sure how well it will go. Not all start-ups will take VC capital. Some states also allow for a lot of variety for LLCs. An LLC might be the best bet depending on the circumstances.
