A client of mine is getting harassed, we think by her former attorney who she's suing for embezzlement.

Someone is posting fake resumes for her and applying for jobs and she gets daily emails and call backs. Is there anything to do short of either ignoring it or playing whack-a-mole?

She's a very sweet old lady who is freaked out by this and doesn't deserve it.

This is for finding yourself in and opting out of data brokers, and finding leaked credentials. They can't do anything about doxxing or defamation by a malcious party.
