Answer 2

Where I live there is a place called Pine Tree Legal they do free stuff. Your friend needs to call the credit Bureau so the thief cant open anymore accounts, call the police to report it and file a complaint with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). Sometimes calling around to local lawyers and asking if they know anyone will help.

Answer 3

Stolen identity is a crime. Most of your friend's problems can be handled by the police. Then call your state's attorney general's office and they may be able to take care of the remainder of the problem. If that doesn't work, call your state bar for a pro bono referral. Attorneys in my state must do 50 hours of free legal work each year. BTW--when you contact the Attorney General's office, do it in writing. I'd fax a letter to the Consumer Protection division of the AG's office.

Answer 4

lawyers dont work for free, The only people entitled to free legal representation are criminals, try to get the story on your local radio station maybe a nice lawyer will hear it and help. good luck

Answer 5

Unfortunately, most attorneys will not take an identity theft case pro bono. However, the FTC puts out a wonderful booklet to assist victims of identity theft. It can be found here:

Answer 6
