No attorney can help you in the situation where a DV visa wasn't issued prior to expiration of the DV period, September 30, 2010.
All visa fees are non-refundable. There is no appeal and no reconsideration. This is the lottery. It had ended and you didn't get a visa. You should have tried to contact the Consulate and ask to expedite, if possible, prior to Sep 30th. You may try again the next year (filing period starts today). However, prior to that you should consult a lawyer and see if there are some inadmissibility issues in your situation.
