Depending upon the type of service being offered you may need licensing in some or all states. You will certainly need to be incorporated, and to comply with various tax and insurance regulations. A lawyer would certainly be helpful to to guide you through the setup phase, though it's not likely that you'll need an attorney on any extended basis once you get going.

Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss this in detail.
