My daughter's SS# and name have been used fraudulently for both credit and work, my daughter is disabled, the SS office informed me of the situation, it is a very stressfull situation that is taking a toll on me, I would like to know if there would be future consecuenses if I just let it go, I know that there are 2 delinquent accts on her credit report, I was told that they will automatically fall from the record eventually, should I just wait for that? and also I need to find out if the thief claimed taxes or not, if the taxes are unclaimed, would that affect my daughter in the future? quite frankly as much as I hate the thief benefiting from the SS#, I really hope she claimed taxes, that way I don't have to worry about fixing anything unclaimed or anything owed to the IRS.

Consider interviewing more than one lawyer before you make your final choice. Ask if the lawyer has handled similar matters, and what the outcomes were. Also ask if the lawyer has taken any continuing legal education courses which relate to your problem. Going it alone, you can miss and say the wrong things if you are not represented by an advocate as your attorney. This is why experience is a necessary line of inquiry as you look for a skilled counselor.
