That sucks, can't help you with it but over here to start a lawsuit will cost more than the lost 1500 USD.

But usually in civil cases, the losing side is also tasked with paying for the legal fees of the winning side, no?

Yes but with the proof tainted has, would you be risking to start a lawsuit?
Verbal agreements are quite useless in court.

Well, it depends on the verbal agreement, and what proof he has of that agreement. Here verbal agreements are accepted if there is proof of such agreement.
That said, I would have never wired money without a face to face, signed agreement in the first place.

Verbal agreements are honored under California law (somewhat). And I have the emails and the wire receipt as physical proof, and my brother as a witness that I sent the money expecting him to get the job done. I'm just not sure how far I'll go suing a lawyer with 15+ years of experience.
Oh, and I'll be taking him to a small claims court probably. I think I'll spend another couple of weeks trying to get ahold of him. If I can't, then I'll go about setting up a court date.
The money isn't the issue here. I can eat the loss. Its just that I'm not going to let some prick walk away with $1500 of my money.

Try wearing a hidden camera or a recording device at least and meet him at his office, place of residence, whatever. Catching him in the word is always nice thing to pull in such cases. Small claims is even better.

What kind of a nonsense is this, breach of privacy...  And him taking the money is not a breach? And let him sue, once a court determines he is a thief, let him sue.
Big brother breaches privacy all the time, but catching some asshole in a lie - nope, must not do that!

I am 2 for 2 in small claim lawsuits. Sued a dry cleaner for ruining my jacket (bleached it). Also sued an individual person for non-payment (had a written contract). If you have something in writing, you should win. Verbals usually do not hold up. Also, never 'wire' money. Use a credit card instead (or paypal).

What did you expect? Hes a lawyer! They rank up there with estate agents as the scummiest, most untrustworthy professions.

go to his home and settle the things
court will cost you more just torture him a little after the civilized talking
take on of those with you
or go to police department and call him there and on purpose beat him infront of them after demanding from him the money
i dont think that he will dare to sue you

You need to contact the California Bar Association and speak to an adjucant there. Give all the details to them and they will contact the lawyer on your behalf and either get restitution or force him to contact you. Accepting money makes you his client and if he fails to return calls or contact a client in a timely manner it is considered abandonment of client on the lawyers part and he cannot hold onto monies for which he is not entitlled. There is no need to try to persue it in a civil court. This is one of many reasons the each state has a bar association.

Well I know a little about Dutch law since I am Dutch, if you want to record/film conversations/happenings you have to ask if the subject objects first.
If not you can freely record it.
Someone who is corrupt or has things to hide most likely will never agree to get it recorded.
Edit: Meaning that it is basically a useless means to lure a person into an confession.
