Client Security Fund for Scammed Homeowners

Were you scammed by a lawyer? If you lost money to a lawyer who promised to get you a loan modification or save your home from foreclosure, you may be able to get your money back. Every State Bar has a Client Security Fund (CSF). The CSF reimburses clients (up to varying amounts) for being victims of dishonest licensed/state bared attorneys.
