You need a registrar who will work on your behalf to get them back, as they can enact changes through ICANN, avoiding the need for lawyers and courts. They can either work informally with the gaining registrar, or formally through an ICANN "domain transfer dispute resolution" (DTDR) filing. The alternative would be to go through the legal system, but these are almost all international cases, and it would be a very expensive and very time-consuming mess. Ideally the registrar who lost the doman (registerfly) should work on your behalf to return the domains...if they don't, publicize the details as much as possible, to warn others and perhaps pressure them to reconsider. If they still won't help you, any other ICANN-accredited registrar can also work for the domains return on your behalf, through ICANN, but they're businesses, so I'd expect you'll need to give them a financial incentive to do so. If you've only got a couple domains, the $2 or $10 annual "profit" they make on the registration is not going to cover their time to persue a DTDR procedure.
