thanks for all the suggestions guys. this is the first time i have ever had to do something like this ive never even been in a court room. what kind of attorney am i looking for? its possible the lein holder could decide the contract is null and void and i am okay with that. I want the others who have been victims of this to find out (assuming there are others). i just hope that the police investigations goes well and the find the others they have screwed. thanks again
