Should I get in touch with a lawyer?

What kind of income have you been receiving for all of those years?  Were you receiving W-2's from employers--you said you "claimed 0 dependents?"  Have you worked for employers who withheld tax from your paychecks?

I highly recommend you seek assistance from a local tax pro so they can educate you on what you need to file & what you can file for refunds.

I completely agree.  You need help from a tax professional.  And not the kind in some pop up seasonal tax return place.

Just to provide a bit of comfort:  If you only have income from one employer who sends you a w-2 each year and you have been claiming 0 then it's likely that you will have a decent refund coming.  You definitely should get assistance this year.  I certainly would not look to the bar association for this help.  I would look for a CPA who has a tax practice or an Enrolled agent who is available year round, if needed.  The "big box" brand preparers often have EAs among their employees and you can ask about that.
