Any illegal stay (out of status, provided one entered the US legally) and unauthorized employment are forgiven while applying for adjustment of status as a spouse of a US citizen.
Do I need a lawyer to apply? >>> Depends upon how much you can work on the forms yourself, if you are thinking of hiring a lawyer to address your overstaying issue, I don't think you need one.
You aren't married yet? >>> You have a long way to go...in the sense..you have to prove your marriage is a bonafide..not just for papers.
You need to file I-130 and I-485 with their supporting documents, after you get married and after spending sometime together.
I hope this helps.
