QUESTION

Ive recently found out that Ive been a victim of Identity theft since 1996.

Asked on Aug 27th, 2014 on Social Security - New Jersey
More details to this question:
because of this, the IRS has made it impossible for me, a full time single father, to get my taxes from the last 2 years, and the red flags that I put up, made the IRS question my taxes from 2008 and on. Now they are trying to take money back from me from 2008 through 2011. It has made it impossible for me to get my unemployment, which in the past has made me lose a house, and a truck. as of now the IRS owes me about 7000 Dollars, but from what the lady at the IRS building says, they are just not sure if Im me because of the confusion, but still won't send me my money.

This isn't really something a lawyer can help you with.  I think you would be better off trying some different things, if you haven't already.  There are some really good websites listing the things that you should do if you are the victim of identity theft.  there are also companies that will help you secure your identity, for a fee.  That would be a better use of your money then hiring an attorney, unless you know the person that stole your identity.
