The LLC is not a trademark, it is a form of business organization. If you are using a name and/or mark to identify services and that name is confusingly similar to a (preexisting) trademark, the preexisting trademark owner may require that you cease using the confusingly similar mark. Deciding whether there is requisite confusion depends on the nature of your product(s)/services, the region of extant use, the (previously) trademarked product(s)/services, and the prominence of the trademark in the region(s) of use. Infringement may also depend on whether your and/or the other trademark(s) are registered (which gives a trademark national scope). You probably need an attorney to help sort these things out for you.
