I can't say I agree with the lawn service suggestion. They don't put anything on the lawn that you can't get from home depot for half the cost. If the lawn is over grown with weeds, you'll have to resign yourself to one year of it looking half dead as you kill off the weeds. Rake it, then mow it. Then get a thatching rake and get ready to have a sore back! Once you are done with the thatching you can start on scotts annual lawn care program. Give two months between treatments starting with step one. Seed in the fall and then start with scotts again in the spring. With adequate watering your lawn will look like a golf green by the end of next summer.
