I want a friend to visit me with visa B1B2 the Embassy says I need an attorney what is the process

It is possible that the embassy is confused concerning your friend’s request, and thus is asking him or her to get an attorney to help process the B1/B2 visa. Usually, these types of visa applications do not require legal assistance. An attorney, however, can guide an applicant to the right type of paperwork and documents that can be considered by a consular officer.
