Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Law firm fraud

I signed a contract with an attorney 5 months ago, I never saw or talked to this attorney. I would always request to talk to him but I would get excuses of his absence. Later by looking his license I found a phone number with another office address.

I talked to him and told me he never authorized my law firm to use his name for their business and he mailed me a letter stating that. Can law firm get sued for using his name?

Report this conduct to the police and the state bar association. It is very probable that someone is practicing law without a license.
