James, sorry to hear about your problems, and I hope someone gives you some quick work.

I don't know why any attorney's would have told you that you are at risk for any criminal charge. You are in the US, right? If so, this is a CIVIL case, and connot be prosecuted under CRIMINAL law. The client can sue you, but not have you locked up. This is similar to a repo or forclosure. If you did ANY portion of the work, he has dick to stand on. Do you live in a little town where they have no other cases to work? I am not in your shoes, so I'm not Monday Morning Quarterbacking you, but the police CANNOT get involoved in this case unless there is CRIMINAL conduct. This would be considerd a civil rights violation if they did. If I remember correctly it is a 1971 or 1972 federal law that prohibits public law enforcement from being involved in private buiness.

Using the repo analogy...

If I was repoing someones car and they called the Police, the Police COULD NOT TELL ME I CANNOT TAKE THE CAR, if they did, they would be "acting under the color of law" and that is not allowed in most of the states in this country.

Just trying to give you another route to look at here man, good luck.
