Why should I pay an attorney $700 for a trademark search when USPTO state search is free?

It seems I can search the USPTO for current and pending trademarks as well as my state corporation database. What does an attorney have access to that I don’t?

Nothing, but an attorney knows how to run the search and has more experience to deal with potential problems. It’s not as simple as searching with google.
You don’t have to pay the attorney (I worked for an IP attorney) however, the language that is used can be very specific. If you feel by your research you are clear then don’t pay.
