ghostwriter wants credit. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The contract was signed 14 months ago. I am not sure I have the original signed copy. The total amount in dispute is approximately $148,000.

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