I'm so sorry about this situation! I want to address your situation with a detailed response, so if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask because this law stuff can get complicated. So you have a few options: 1. My first recommendation is to send a notice to your current lawyer you would no longer like them to represent you; 2. You can also request that they send you back any advanced payments; 3. I think you may need to consider a lawsuit with a different lawyer. This appears to be a classic breach of warranty.  A breach of warranty simply means that one party was obligated to perform some promise, such as a repair or replacement of a product, and they have either not performed or have said that they will not perform.  A warranty is an agreement and applies regardless of whether the agreement was written or done orally. Typically, the aggrieved party is entitled to be returned to the same position they were in before the breach.    You have some options you can explore: You can also start with a demand letter to the solar company about this - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/256

I don't have any specific contacts, but I can suggest the next best thing: California has a lawyer referral service that is broken down by region, and then by county - https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Public/Need-Legal-Help/Using-a-Certified-Lawyer-Referral-Service/Certified-Lawyer-Referral-Services-Directory  You can click this link for pro bono attorneys - https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Public/Need-Legal-Help/Free-Legal-Help  Sometimes, the local law schools can provide free legal assistance, too. The local county bar associations have their own services, but you may need to Google them You can also find lawyer on the Legal Services Corporation website. The LSC is an independent non-profit organization authorized by Congress in 1974 to help people find legal aid services (https://www.lsc.gov/what-legal-aid/find-legal-aid).  You can also return to this site and ask questions to me as you go through this process to keep your costs down.  Did you have any other questions for me today?
