You shouldn't have to get the claim file yourself. In fact, you probably should not get it yourself.

This question is vague, however, I can answer by saying most lawyers do have payment plans. The hard part is for the client to show they have good credit, and a way to make payments.

Good Luck!

If she has put you in a false light by using this photo, then you may have a claim against her. You should first ask her to remove the photo immediately (in writing) though as an alternative to filing a lawsuit.
