First you need to be either appointed or elected as a judge.

A citizen does not file contempt charges.
Contempt is a mechanism that the court uses to enforce its orders and authority. Civil contempt is designed to be coercive, to force the party to obey the court's order. Criminal contempt is punitive, to punish the party for violating the court order.
If the court has issued an order in an existing (or resolved) case, and the other party has refused to obey it, then the court (same judge who issued the order) could be notified that the party is refusing. The court will then determine the appropriate action.
Since contempt is imposed by the court based on an existing order, most people would use the same lawyer that they had for the underlying case when asking the court to intervene again.

You *can't* file contempt; only a judge in a court can do that. Or congress/the senate.
Maybe you asked the wrong question.

you dont NEED a lawyer, but if you want to make the best case i would get one. 9 times out of 10 a lawyer is just a name to get closer to the judge. So if your lawyer is a high profile lawyer better chances of winning.

Doesn't the judge declare contempt of court charges? Or are you referring to another contempt charge?
