You should check with law schools in your area to see if they have any programs that could help a person in your situation. Individually, a law student, would probably not be able to assist you without the supervision of a licensed attorney.
You can't get a law student to advise you on the law unless they are admitted to student practice under the supervision of a licensed attorney. Otherwise they are risking an unauthorized practice of law charge, which could prevent them from ever becoming licensed. You need to check with your local legal aid societies or see if there is a clinical program at BerkeleyLaw, or JFK University law school that can help you.
