i”m waiting for a original of my birth certificate to come back by mail.i want to know if i can somehow find out online, why it”s taking so long

I found out that my friend (a minor) got molested, and want to know a way I can contact a legal law firm through e-mail, in Maryland, who does not charge…(the victim does not want anyone to know his/her name, but wants to seek legal advice from the state of Maryland, through e-mail or online contact).
All help will be very much appreciated!
My friend was molested in Maryland, but moved to a different state afterwards. If anyone knows if there is a restriction on the time span of filing a complaint since the incident, please let us know. Thank you!
It has been almost a year since the incident.
Does the time of the incident effect anything and the time of complaining effect anything?
Is there anywhere online where the victim can reach a lawyer legal advice without giving information like his/her name, address, phone number, ect.?

In the spring, I ran for school board. I sent a campaign email to everyone who works at the school, and I got a pretty ugly reply the day before the election from an employee that doesn’t like me. It wasn’t the reply that bothered me so much, as the fact that she sent it as a reply-all, so it went to everyone at the school. In it, she called me vindictive and malicious, among other things said. I lost the election and I feel that the emails (there was more than one) were part of the reason. Does this attack on my character constitute as libel, and am I within my rights to sue? Would it even be worth suing?
For clarification sake- I sent my email to an administrator and asked her to forward it to the employees, because they had done it with another campaigner. Also, when the person sent the first reply-all, I responded that I would meet with her and then she responded to everyone once again that I was vindictive and malicious. She mentioned things in both letters that she would not be able to argue out of that she didn’t write it or didn’t mean to send it. In fact, she mentioned that she sent it to everyone because she didn’t want any misunderstandings about what she had said to me.

To get the scoop from both perspectives, I signed up at McCain’s and Obama’s sites and got email from both for months now.
Obama’s campaign is STILL asking me for money. (10November08)
Seriously, ***?
Still getting solicitations today (12 November) ONLY from one “side.”

In an email his campaign just sent out to reporters titled “Governor Bill Richardson Statement on New England Patriots Spying Incident,” Richardson is quoted as telling voters in Iowa today that “The President has been allowed to spy on Americans without a warrant, and our U.S. Senate is letting it continue. You know something is wrong when the New England Patriots face stiffer penalties for spying on innocent Americans than **** Cheney and George Bush.”
