Hypothetical question

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

SaaS provider changed terms unilaterally. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 13 months ago. I have a copy of the original agreement. The total amount in dispute is approximately $13,000.

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

Illustrative response

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.
