Need referral to bilingual French Lawyer

Bonjour,

I am widowed and in contact with the French Notaire regarding succession process. I am American (as was my husband). The Notaire is demanding I give her some sort of certificate showing my husband's estate is settled.
I have explained many times to her that he died "intestate" (without a will) and since we also live in a community property state in USA there is no certificate to file.

She doesn't understand. I told her I cannot file a petition in Probate court because there is no will and no assets. There are only debts to which I do not have to legally pay.

Please help me find a French attorney who can speak to her on my behalf. She needs to be advised of the American laws and someone needs to help her find a different way to handle the paperwork of the French succession. (For example, she knows we are American yet she asked for me to give her "Livret de Famille". I had to tell her we don't have such a family book in USA)
