Wow - a whole 20%? I don't know if you have a claim, but a lawyer is going to charge you 40% (or more) to take this small claim on a contingency. You should go see a lawyer in your area and have a consultation. If he seems to know what he's talking about, and tells you that you have a claim, give him a 40% contingency and see what happens.

It's too late. This should have gone to the DA for forgery and fraud. Police only file a report. Hell, it may have gone into file 13.
If you have any paperwork to show forgery, it can still be turned over to the DA. Finding the scum is another matter.
Recovery of the money is questionable, even if they are found.
The company was no doubt bogus. Probably nothing exists. If you know the attorney, I would give the DA that info.
He may know something.

As my business law professor use to say, getting the judgement is easy, collecting is the hard part. You could try suing the company for punitive and recoverable damages, but if the company is out of business, how will you collect on the judgement. The most you will get is the satisfaction of them in jail. I doubt that you would be able to sue a company that is out of business and collect the money. I hope this helps!

What do you mean by "recovering the money"?
It wasn't your money. Or your property.
