More details to this question:
I recently posted bail and while incarcerated the Bail Company I went through to post bail solicited my case with an attorney and had the attorney contact my wife to persuade her to represent me in my case. I know it’s illegal in another state and have seen people get prosecuted. I end up hiring the lawyer, yet doesn’t feel as if he's working in my favor at all.

I m not aware of any law that prohibits a bail company from making a referral. However, there are ethics prohibitions against an attorney soliciting you as a client. You can report that attorney to the state bar. You should probably have a new attorney lined up before you go that route.
