After surfing the internet for debt relief, we were contacted by a debt consolidation co. to help us with our debt load and we participated in their program. We have since then had to file bankruptcy due to our dealings with this company and after contacting the Attorney General for the state of MS we found out that this company is NOT licensed to operate in the state of MS (where we reside). The Attorney General’s office told us to contact a lawyer for "grievment"; however, we are unsure as to what type of attorney to contact. PLEASE HELP!!!
What kind of lawyer do I need?

general civil litigation lawyer and hope they will take the case on contingent, if not you may unfortunately have a problem, if a lawyer will not take your case on a contingent fee, they will require a retainer which could be 5K to 19K
Contact a civil attorney, any kind will do, unless they specifically say they are like a realty lawyer or another type of specialized attorney (like workman’s comp or an ambulance chaser).
If you contact a general civil attorney and they don’t/won’t handle your case, you can ask for a referral to someone who would, and if not, just let your fingers do the walking for another.
Specifically look for a fraud or business related attorney.
You want a lawyer that deals with frauds. Try findlaw.com or legalmatch.com to search for an atty that is licensed to practice in your area. Sometime "defense" lawyers do this kind of work. You want to look under "Criminal Law", then under "White Collar/Corporate Crime." Some lawyers even specialize in bankruptcy fraud/misleading creditors. Good luck – it will be a long expensive journey.

Call the county bar association. They will match you with a lawyer who is "on the list" for financial misconduct schemes, usually with a nominal fee for the consultation. By nominal, I mean really nominal; in New York City, where lawyers make way too much money, the Bar Association limits the consultation charge to $40, so we’re talking small potatoes as legal fees go.
