It sounds like your friend is applying law in a legal setting that is acting umlawfully. Most attornies know the legal system, and almost nothing about law.

Finding someone knowlegable in law to represent your friend is going to be a challenge.

However, if he's hired a lawyer, that lawyer is obligated to act as your friend's agent. This means the lawyer must act in the same way your friend would. Not doing so is illegal, and actionable. If the lawyer refuses to act in your friend's stead, your friend can claim misrepresentation, dereliction of duties, or other similar objections.

If successful, this would give him time to find someone that understands law, and how it usually superscedes anything that is "legal".
