In front of my garage there are a wall on each side. The left side is
stable because it is more than just a wall, it is a planter box 7'h
x6'w (constructed of house brick and morter). The right wall is
leaning inward about 10 degrees or more (7'h x6'w). The leaning wall
appears to be appears stable. There is soil behind the leaning wall
aproximently 4' up.

Who do I need to contact to work on this?
What kind of work should I expect them to do to upright this wall?

My only experience with "retaining walls" was in seawall repairs at our
condo - excavating and placing a bunch of new "deadmen". With a wall
the size of yours - six feet long? - I would be inclined to believe that
replacing it would not be much more than repairing it. Perhaps a marine
contractor, if there are any in the neighborhood, or a good general
contractor. Is it block or poured? Cracking? Reinforced? If it is
replaced, it should have drainage and tiebacks, IMO. What is behind it?
Structures? Uphill? Trees?
