DH didn't write the number down.

Of course one question that would be nice to answer is whether or not this individual is really a lawyer. If not, he's probably violating some law or another by insisting that he is a lawyer. And what sort of real lawyer has the time in his busy life to make phone calls like this, hinting at nebulous further actions? They'd have to be pretty junior grade.
I would consider getting the person who took the phone call to write down what was said, the claim about being a lawyer, the call back number and anything else. This information could later be put into an affidavit if needed. Trying to go back in six months and ask someone what someone else said is less believable than getting it on paper right away.
