Legal Question in Immigration Law in Louisiana

My friend just recieved a denial from the consulate in South Africa. They didn't view any documents & immediately denied him under Section 214(b) Act, saying he didn't produce strong ties to Africa......which was in the documents but the consulate didn't even look at them. What can we do now that they have denied him and is there a lawyer I can hire here that can help him with what's going on there?

Unfortunately, there are no appeals for a consular-level decision when a denial takes place under "immigrant intent."

He could apply again with the same (and more) evidence showing ties to South Africa including an itinerary of his trip and his purpose for his US visit (among other items). There is no guarantee they'll change their decision the next time however.
