I think you should know by now that any attorney who would be willing to represent you will require that you pay a retainer for your legal services UP FRONT. If you can't - or won't - pay for a retainer, they aren't obligated to provide you any legal services.

It seems that even the attorneys your friends could find will expect you to pay for their services. If that's the case, there isn't much you can do.
