I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

ghostwriter wants credit. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 15 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $73,000.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the implied covenant of good faith years for this type of claim.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
