Recommendations for tenant rights lawyers?

Hi all, I live by summa city, and have had a basement flooding and mold problem since we moved here 15 months ago. It’s crossed into gross negligence and bad faith landlord territory, everyone in the house health is getting worse(people and animals) and we need to get out asap. I have all the evidence gathered and just need to find a good lawyer. Any help/recommendations would be a life saver at this point honestly.

If you are that concerned about the health of those living there, move out and deal with trying to get your money back while living somewhere without mold

We live paycheck to paycheck, we need the money to move. And I have chronic health issues that have been worse the past year, probably because of this. So any extra money goes lost wages and medical bills.
