A:
more info needed.
because of your financial situation, i doubt you can find a lawyer, as they would want to handle it on an hourly...not a contingency.
However, you can go to small claims where you can sue without a lawyer and get into court in a relatively short period of time.
i would discuss this with your criminal lawyer first as you would probably need to win the criminal case for the civil case to have merit.
