Spousal visa: Hire a lawyer or DIY?

Just got engaged and after lots of research have decided the spousal visa is best for us- we’ll get married in his country where he lives and then apply for the spousal visa. No criminal history from either of us, he’s never been to the US, and nothing else I can think of that could complicate our case. Should we still hire a lawyer to make sure all our T’s are crossed/possibly have it done faster or is it pretty straightforward doing it on our own? We found a great lawyer that charges $4000 plus the federal filing fees. It’s $500 to start and then $250/month after that, no interest. We could pay it but also could really use that extra money. Is it worth it?

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
