I am currently in a situation that requires me to file suit against a distributor who has monopolized an industry which my business is focused on (along with many other businesses). Over an extended period of time, which my business was operating, they have made many actions which has cost me and my business to lose everything. All of these actions are due to their poor operations, but as mentioned, they are the only distributor you're forced to deal with when in this industry - and they clearly have taken advantage of that by simply not caring about their accounts. This industry is new-release driven, on a weekly basis, and as long as they have control they can do as they please (and definitely have). I have all of the email transactions saved and can provide extensive info when needed.

You're more likely to find a lawyer to help you if you contact their office directly, as opposed to using this question and answer tool.
You can use the "find a lawyer" tool on this site, or Google, to search for lawyers.
This does not strike me as a case that a lawyer would take pro bono. You are in business and one of expense of being in business is the need to hire a lawyer once in a while.

Perhaps you belong to a professional association as related to your industry that may be able to assist you and your peers in this battle. It almost sounds like an industry driven antitrust issue. Try contacting the legal department of your governing member-trade organization for guidance.
Good luck.

I agree with the other poster - there are some law firms that will adjust their fees to take this on a contingency basis (which means the firm will determine what percentage of your recovery they will take as a fee if you win). The percentage will likely be fairly high because this is a risky arrangement for a firm to take on (if the lawsuit isn't successful, they do not get paid for their time/work). But if you don't want to pay up front or on an hourly basis, there are firms that will do this if they think the case is solid. Class actions are long processes and likely, you will not recover a ton. The recovery is split among the class members/those affected similarly. So if you think you have a sizable amount to recover, you would probably want to pursue an individual case.
