Would it be beneficial to retain an attorney in such a matter?

I don't think you need legal assistance, per se. As long as you read your lease and break it properly, you should be fine and your credit should be fine as well. Usually, leases have terms spelled out in the event that you need to break the lease. You give notice, pay a few months' worth of rent, etc.
If you decided to pack up and move in the middle of the night w/o notice, w/o a forwarding address, then you do stand a chance of horrible things being put on your credit report. (for rent money owed and any damages).

Hello, I live in Ohio in a townhouse & our neighbors got out of the lease due to their company relocating. I guess that it is a law that if your job relocates more than 50 miles they have to let you out of your lease.
If your landlord is a private owner, they will most likely let you out if you give a 30 day notice & let them keep your security deposit.
Good Luck!

usually they'll let you buy out your lease with a 30 day notice & 2 months of rent
