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.

That's true for the IP but why don't you try to get the original resume and look through the document metadata? Apart from that the IP seems more viable as more people mentioned in the comments. You could move the email address to span and as for the calls probably block or respond and say that you never aplied? But this seems like impersonation to me.
