Heads up about contractor abandoned project halfway

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

contractor abandoned project halfway. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 10 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $5,000.

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

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with teh relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer 🤷.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long fr fr.
