Hypothetical question

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

DMCA takedown on my original content. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 33 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Obviously I don't know all the details of your situation though.
