Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

A foolish one, I'm afraid. Until new legislation that went into effect 1/1/13, lenders in California were pretty much safe to do whatever they wanted during loan modifications. So your chances of success there are very slim. As for the attorney you would want to sue, none of the attorneys who were scamming borrowers about loan modifications were carrying malpractice insurance and the odds of them having any assets you could find to enforce a judgment are pretty much as slim as successfully suing the lender. In addition, by asking this kind of quesiton you pretty clearly say you don't have a lot of money to pay a lawyer. So you would have to find a lawyer who was willing to take a case with very little chance of success on a contingent fee basis - and that would be a very foolish lawyer.
