Duplicate I-797

Hi,

My H1-B was done by my startup through an attorney last year. In their correspondence process the original I-797 was lost. Now the attorney is very difficult to get hold of and I cannot get any copies of the documents he has.
I am filling out the I-824 myself for a duplicate. I have a photocopy of the I-797. Could you please tell me if:

1. I need the H1 B petition copy attached with it?
2.It is OK to file it as an individual and not through a lawyer ?
3. If my H1B was premium processing, is the I-824 expedited ?
4. How long does it usually take to get a duplicate?

Thanks for helping me.
