Glad I can be of help. Interesting question...I suppose it wouldn't hurt, and it would probably be helpful to register it at the state level, esp. since that would be where you plan to market the services to start with. I'm curious as to how long the state trademark process takes.

There is the question of whether such a trademark/servicemark already exists at the federal level, or if your state trademark would be superceded by a federal trademark if someone else were to come along and do just that. I would recommend hiring a trademark attorney who can answer this and help you in the process.
