Basically I have met with two different lawyers and they have both said I have a really strong case unfortunatly they work for big firms and it is their policy to obtain a large retainer before anything happens. if anybody has any ideas please contact me as I don't know what to do next.

The true measure of a strong case is whether an attorney is willing to take it on a contingency basis. When they do that, they get a share of the recovery.

There are attorneys who offer reduced fees for individuals. You may need to consult your local united way agency and they may can help you find an attorney who will help you for a reduced fee. No attorney is going to represent you for little or nothing. I am sorry it just does not work that way. The only other thing I can suggest is to save your money until you get the fee for the attorney to represent you. I have no idea and do not claim to know but in a lot of situations there is a statue of limitations on different types of cases. Finally there are some attorneys who work by themselves and they will work out a payment plan with you. Once you have paid them their fee in full then they will start the process.

Keep interviewing attorneys. Be sure to go to attorneys who have experience with the area of law in which your case falls. I assume that you are the plaintiff, and suing for money damages. If you actually do have a good case, in the attorneys' opinion, you will find one who will do it on a contingency basis.
If they feel that you don't have a great case, it doesn't necessarily mean that you haven't been injured, or whatever. It might just mean that this type of case is difficult to prove.
Good luck.

Call Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. They like these types of causes.

It depends on what state you are in -- since lawyers can only practice in states where they are licensed.
If you are in Oregon or California, feel free to contact me offline.
