Advice on personal banking issue

Hi everyone! I am currently in a situation where I need advice on which kind of lawyer to hire. Basically, I opened an account at Chase and went back home to my country. While I was back home, I asked one of my friends to transfer some money into my Chase account since I needed some money fast. He asked one of his friends in the states to transfer the money. The person deposited around 8 money orders and a check into my chase bank account. Everything was fine but the check got bounced and my account got closed down. I have all the money from money order in my account but Chase is not allowing us to take them out. They are asking for money order receipts which we do not have anymore (and cannot get them since the person is not willing to get them for us). They said without the money order receipt, they cannot trace the history of the money from money order. We escalated to the escalation team in Chase and they do not know how to help either. If we are not able to resolve this in a certain amount of time, they are going to donate the money to the city. So, what kind of lawyer would be able to help me in this case so that I can at least get back my money?

 

It was a check that bounced. No money order bounced.

I was told by the bank that they were going to donate or send the money to the city or something after a certain period of time. He also said I can fight back for the money when that happens if I wish to do that.
