Question: can I apply J1 waiver through exceptional hardship?

I have a J1 visa and subjected to 212(e). I cannot apply waiver from Chinese embassy, so I am thinking about to apply through exceptional hardship.

I am currently in the US with F1 visa. 

My husband is greencard holder, and my daughter's greencard application is just submitted last month.

My questions are:

1) If my situation would fit to the requairement for hardship?

2) Is anyone know a good lawyer who I can hire to work on my case?

Thanks a lot!
