While a lawyer may be able to penetrate the 'corporate veil' it is definitely much more difficult to go after personal assets unless you are really negligent.

Of course each person has to choose thier own risk level. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance: Get your refund fast by filing online. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
