You could likely have a free initial meeting with a lawyer to confirm a law had been broken and get a general idea of their fees and your odds of success.

Sounds like it would be your brother’s word against the public defenders. Sounds tough.

Yes, you could file paperwork for a lawsuit. Affording the legal help and winning the suit are different matters.
