If the lawyer provably lied, you need to contact the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commmission in Chicago or Springfield. We lawyers do maintain a victm's reparation fund to compensate people whose lawyers stole from them. Ask the ARDC. I think the awards are limited to $10,000 but is voluntary on the part of the bar and is better than nothing. ARDC phone numbers are available from information in the phone book.
