Using unearned fees for personal use when the money belongs in the attorney's trust account is one of the most serious offenses for a lawyer. Therefore, the first thing you should do is contact the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. There is a link to the web site that will give you instructions on how to request an investigation: http://www.iardc.org/howtorequest.html You should also file a small claims lawsuit. Most court have self-help brochures at the clerks' office or on their web site that will show you how to file a small claims action. Good luck.
