Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

I was purchasing 8 acres from my brother, he sold the land on 02/14/2012 and did not mention that to us, so my husband gave him $5,000.00 with a notorized letter for the down payment on 02/25/2012 and now he wants to charge us attorny fees as well as 800.00 taxes and 200.00 association fees. Do we have a leg to stand on and what should we do?

"A leg to stand on" for what, i.e., the return of your $5K down payment for

land that had already been sold to someone else?

Why, of course; sue the SOB in small claims court for the $5K and whatever

other costs you're permitted to include.
