Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

YouTube Content ID false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 14 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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