i have an older client that ended up getting his 2012 non retina macbook pro hacked. the hacker must've taken over and turned on the filevault feature. Can anyone tell me what his options are for recovering the data?

Re: 2012 macbook pro with an encrypted volume
Boot into recovery mode and see if it will allow you to enter a password to unlock the volume. If the password is unknown, then only option is to try and reset via Apple account. I'm not aware of any unlocks for Filevault (doesn't mean there aren't any, just not my line of work).
You can always restore the last Time Machine backup they have if they have one.
