Best regards,

You were advised correctly, by the DA. This is not a criminal matter. It sounds like the $50,000. will appear to a Court as a Loan, rather than an investment or purchase price for shares of a company.

If you have documentation of the purpose for which you gave the money you may be able to obtain a lien or other type of Pretrial Restraining Order (TRO) on the personal and construction company assets and property, before trial. But, a Civil lawsuit must be filed contemporaneously with filing for a Lien or TRO.

Of couse, you will also need to send a Certified written Demand Letter for repayment, before you are eligibile to sue in Court for repayment.

Your "current lawyer" may be distinterested in your case, because of being pique with you, for not consulting him/her in advance of your giving such a sum of money, w/o you obtaining docs or doing a prior due diligent inviestigation.

Good luck,
