Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
lien paid by non-guilty party
if a lawyer files a lien and a non-guilty party with the same name as the guilty party mistakenly pays the lien through a home refinance because the lawyer did not include any ssn# or cdl# ''only a name'' on the lien he filed with the hall of recoreds, is he legaly obligated to return the money? note: he gave us a letter a year earlier stating we are not the guilty party but took our money a year later when we refied again and when i called him to demaned the money back he lied and said he didnt have it and gave it to his client anyway. is what he did angaist the law?

Re: lien paid by non-guilty party
Sue the lawyer for "conversion" (theft). I bet when you do, the lawyer gets thrown in jail and/or disbarred. I also would be surprised if the client saw any of the money.
