Fraud
I would like to get the money ($4,000) back from a lady in Florida that claimed to be an INS Officer. When we submitted the paper work and the money, approximately 4 years ago, she disappeared. I have since found her and now have an address/telephone number for her.
Do I file with the Small Claims Court here in California or do I have to file in Florida? What are the forms that I need to submit? Do I need a lawyer?

You should contact your local police department and pursue your civil suit. Also report her to the Unauthorized Practice Section of the California Bar.

This question is in the wrong category. It's not an immigration law Q but should be in the civil small claims category.
You're out of luck in California. File a lawsuit in Florida. This lady has nothing to do with California if the fraud occurred in Florida. This state has no jurisdiction over some private person in FLA.
