EEA treaty rights can only be exercised when the required criteria are being met. If your Dutch wife is not presently working in the UK then she can not exercise her worker rights in regards EEA family permit.
However there are other ways - "self sufficient" under the treaty is one way, not very common and causes all sorts of hassle when trying to get EEA Family Permit.
See caseworker guidance - which is easier to understand than the law.

My advice is for your wife to get a job, any type of paid employment.
UK is not short of jobs, does not matter if it is a fast food joint, retail, catering any low end role just to get employment. Does not matter how particularly well paid it is either. It is the easiest way to exercise treaty right.
EEA application does not need a lawyer, good or not! Meet the criteria and fill in the paperwork, which is not difficult, supply the evidence and wait....& wait... 6 months is the legal max timescale for EEA residence to be issued.
