Do we need a lawyer?

First of all, Ik is weird posting this kind of stuff in a pirate manga website, but Im positive that if your reading this is bc we are on the same side of our moral (the following is my experience but writeen as if they were a friend's words, I was kinda scared)

My friend and her mom are immigrants, her mom got married to this guy and they've been together for 2 almost years. A few months ago she got accepted into college (SAIC) and was looking for a scholarship to cover it, they had their interview for the residency on may, andwas about to graduate too; 3 days b4 the interview her stepfather said that he was not going and they had to re-schedule, bc he had a problem at Virginia 20 years ago and didn't want nothing to do with federal buildings. My friend and her mom made calls and tried to re-schedule...their case got denied, so they were now awaiting for deportation. A few motns ago they got an email saying that their case was being reviewed so there's that.

Another part is that her mom had a crash a few years ago, where a police car crashed at her at a stop sign, so she had a lawsuit ready there. My friend's stepfather is demmanding money bc my friend's mom just got the money from the lawsuit, and my friend's mom said no bc she never said that she was going to cover for his stuff (he wanted to bond a friend's husband out of jail and cover for his sister tumb, mind you, he demmanded 6000 dollars even tho he knows she is paying her debts, medical bills from the accident and lawyers). He is now calling her a thief, adn accusing her of betraying him and being disloyal, he also claims that they talked and went throught the process of doing the therapy from the crash together (which is a lie bc he only went once with her, and he just went as her driver), and she says that they never talked about it, bc when they talked she told him that she was going to use the money for the migratory process (the mind you, was expensive asf and he never gave a single penny for it, and this was also after it got denied bc of him and they were asking for 28000 just to help her fill the papers), but for some reason he thinks she said she was going to give him the money.

I hate him, almost all her friends (my friend group) that know about him hate him, bc he wants to help his friend with her migrating process, but never helped our friend with their case, he never ate their food bc he didnt like the seasoning (never tried ANYTHING), didn't like the music, going out to their parties, or their language (he would always demmand that my friend's family speak english, bc he said "we are in America you have to learn english"), but even though her mom tried her best at learning, he would always make fun of her talking/accent, and not even try to learn spanish.

Do they need lawyers?, do you know any law firms that can help with their situation?
