It is never necessary to have an attorney - anyone may represent themselves pro se. HOWEVER - some legal acts are best assisted by legal counsel. Expuinction is one of them in that it is not generally considered to be a do-it-yourself project. Ask for an apopointment with an attorney to discuss the matter and be guided by their suggestion. Most attorneys offer a free or very reduced cost first appointment.
