Do I need a lawyer to apply for a green card through marriage to a US citizen?

Need advice on my situation. I came to the US with a B1/B2 visa but overstayed. Found the loml and just got married this year. I've already talked to a lawyer about my case but the fee is $5000, not including the government fees, which is a bit much and one I would rather avoid paying. Is it better to just hire a lawyer or can I DIY this? If DIY is possible, what are the forms to be accomplished and submitted, and how do you properly submit them?

Additional info: During my stay here, I found a place that hired me for work without papers. I used to get paid under the table but since last year, I was able to get an iTIN and my employer accepted that to file my taxes. Would this be a hindrance in getting a green card?
