I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

wedding vendor no-show. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 6 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $60,000.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I work in compliance and I can tell you — companies take demand letters seriously, especially when they cite specific statutes. A vague 'I'm going to sue you' email gets ignored. A detailed letter citing Chapter X Section Y of the [State] Code with specific damages calculations gets forwarded to legal immediately.
