As a fellow law student and blogger, I have to say that I
don't think you need an attorney for this. I've sent a number
of notices out myself and in all but one case, the infringing
material was removed promptly by the ISP or the site operator.
Even in the rare case, however, the situation was resolved
within a week without need for an attorney.

Unless the website is operated by a large corporation, you
should be just fine on your own.
