Obviously to avoid wasting your money you'd have to find a good lawyer. As many people have asked, how do you know a good lawyer from a bad lawyer? Recommendations? That'll only work so far. Price? Indirect indicator. If I don't know much about the relevant law myself, then how would I know if he's any good? If I have to take the time to educate myself, then again I'll be doing his work. This sort of legal stuff like setting up a company isn't exactly rocket science; it's a form of administration practiced against commonly known rules and the idea is not to deviate too much from what everyone else is doing to play safe. It's something that could, probably for 90% of cases, be done by some sort of a Create Company wizard tool that yields legally sensible outcomes. There are only so many legally relevant configurations of a new startup.
