Yes, lawyers want to make money off of people, but she probably doesn't have the money for a pay per hour attorney and would need one that works on contingency. Those lawyers only take your case of you have one, because they only get paid when you do. So they have no desire to take a case that doesn't have some chance of winning. I recently settled an employment discrimination suit and had to work with a lawyer working on contingency and it was not easy to find a lawyer who would take my case even with direct evidence of the discrimination.
Even if she could afford an hourly attorney, it would likely be a waste of money as it sounds like both employers have documented her behavior sufficiently.
