Yeah, I'd definitely talk to a qualified tax attorney asap. He/She will be most qualified to minimize the damage and financial liability for your family member and get him back on the right track.
At the same time, I'd be wary of people trying to take advantage of this situation and trying to screw you out of some money out of fear.
I'd suggest not cold-calling the first one you see in the yellow pages, and thoroughly asking anyone you know if they have any recommendations or experiences to share.
