Personally, I never did consult a lawyet, and my K1 visa process was pretty much easy as pie. If you feel that you can find your way through the legal mumbo jumbo, then you can save a long penny by not getting a lawyer. But if you can afford one, by all means, go for it.
I came into the States with a K1 fiance visa. The whole process was very fast. I applied for the visa in mid-summer 2002, got approved and issued a visa by December, flew into the States in April 2003, got married in May 2003, and became a permanent resident in February 2004. The whole procedure cost way less than a thousand dollars, if you don't include the one-way plane ticket.
And like I said, I never needed a lawyer. But believe me, there were moments when I felt very desperate and uncertain and wished that I could afford to get one. So again, if you can afford it, go for it.
