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?

I assume it is a concrete wall. The bad news is that it is going to
keep getting worse. More bad news is that it probably can't be
restored to upright but will be torn out and redone. The original
installation appears to have been wrong, probably no footing, no
deadmen back into the bank, no drainage holes, no rock/rubble backfill,
just built and backfilled with dirt. Just assuming things based on
what I have seen in the past. Call a concrete contractor or bite the
bullet, have it dismantled and replaced with the fancy retaining wall
blocks. They look much better than bare concrete anyhow.
