Sounds very much as we thought, my money would be on the lawyer being a notario.

This is sad.  Had they asked here or  any of dozens of immigration websites they would have been told to not not leave the USA.  They need to fire their lawyer and get a competent  one. Sounds like they have done that.  The new lawyer will file for a waiver to overcome her 10 year ban.  Hopefully he has done that.
 

 However think in terms that  coming back to the USA in 2-3 years. Which is better waiting 10 years.  but when she fiend back she will be an LPR.  Sounds like they are 18 months into process.  So hopefully 6-18 more months.  

From the way this sounds, they should file an ineffective counsel claim or malpractice suit; the fact she should not have left the country and is now separated from her family reeks of malpractice.

My impression is that the Lawyer came in later, not that I have not seen this happen

Does anyone have any advice? Any sort of help is appreciated

Took a few moments to read through their GoFund post and interview with their current immigration attorney. According to their current attorney waiver has been filed and expedite processing denied, even after Congressional Liaison assistance. 
According to the husbands gofundme post, he did not “ have time “ to provide the “details” of what went wrong w first attorney . Current attorney has already taken all the necessary steps ( filing waiver) and attempting expedite.
 

Personally, I would not have publicized the fact that wife has been living in hotels and Airbnb s for the last year and a half ( instead of languishing with grandma in Pueblo)  , nor that the children spent the entire summer with mom in Mexico and already had X-mas vacation plans to return. ..I know it helped them raise money, but cost them the ability to paint an effective picture of urgency. 

They will get the Waiver , just need to wait it out. 
 

I will be guessing here, but I assume she had DACA and previous attorney banked on there being no accrued ULP .

I do not see how there could not be illegal presence even with DACA. If she had DACA then a quck trip using AP would have helped.

 

The basis of an expedite remains unclear

How difficult is it to get the story basics right? OK the 'journalist' might not know but easy enough to ask someone to give it a once over or do a bit of googling.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
