You must do a search and include in your patent appliaction, otherwise it will not be taken seriously but that said, you don't need to hire some one to do it, you can do it yourself through online search.
There are book s about writting to write patent that you can use to write but it is always a good idea to give your draft to a patent lawyer to look at, so you have not missed anything. this is a cheaper alternative than a lawyer writting the whole thing.
You have to apy the application fee, when you make the application.
