Go to www.uscis.gov and get all the current forms, instructions, fees and addresses. YOU must file an I-130 petition with G-325A's for both of you and an I-864 with all the required evidence. SHE concurrently files an I-485, I-131, and I-765 with all the required evidence. Read the instructions carefully and you won't need a lawyer unless she has a criminal record.

From your posted question, this appears to be a suddenly occurring change of plans or impromptu decision, not well thought out at all in advance. THAT circumstance makes all the difference in her chances of adjusting status after entering on a tourist visa. You and she show no signs of having had a preconceived intent to immigrate improperly. Your lack of any planning is actually a good thing in this circumstance. To have done otherwise, would have been grounds for denial of adjustment of status.
