There is no law against someone helping another even if not licensed. The friend simply cannot perform as an attorney and practice law without being licensed. There is often a fine line between helping someone and practicing law. If she is practicing law, you can file a complaint with the Florida Bar's UPL (unauthorized practice of law) division.
