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

domain squatter demanding ransom. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

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