A person can only call themselves a paralegal if they are supervised by an attorney. There are no paralegal offices, legally anyhow. Your fact pattern does not really give enough information to provide an answer, however.
I agree with Mr. Reid. Paralegals who are not supervised by an attorney are practicing law without a license, which is a crime.
I agree there are not enough facts and the paralegal may be involved in criminal activity which maid help in getting your money back
You should consult with an attorney with an attorney to help flesh out the facts.
