My friend was served

SoSeeking law advice foot a woman in Illinois. Backstory: my friend's ex-husband stole ~$3k in cash and took out $5k from home depot to repair his mom's home. My friend got served for the 5k. Her car, under his name also got booted for the multiple tickets he wracked up today. She also got robbed by those advertiser lawyers when she tried to go file for bankruptcy last year. She has no money. Heck, I've on numerous occasions given her money so that she and her daughter could eat. So that she had gas in her car. So that she had medicine. She needs a lawyer, but no one will take her while broke and the d-bag ex is getting away with it all. I feel helpless to help her.
