You may be able to sue the lender for compensation but I am not sure you can get your house back. You might be able to find a lawyer who will work pro-bono but don't count on it. You will need to pay someone to get this taken care of. A good lawyer is going to have to do a lot of work to help you out and will have to spend a lot of time to do the job.
Also, why do you call it an illegal sale? Exactly what was done that was illegal? Did you benefit from it being illegal at one point? In other words, did you get the loan based on falsified documents that the mortgage company put together? If you signed off on the mortgage with this stuff in there then you might have some problems.

Listen, if you really have a fraud claim, then you can find an attorney to take this on contingency. If not, then you may be able to find an attorney who will help you pro bono. Contact your local bar association for referrals.
Your facts seem strange, though, because in most places there has to be a LOT ofprocedure before real property can be foreclosed and sold. Usually there is a separate lawsuit, a judgment, and opportunity to cure, etc. If there's not been those things than this lender surely is liable. If it's as you say, there will be oodles of california lawyers jumping on to take this on contingency.

make sure when you go to see a lawyer that you have the contract you signed with this person and all documentation proving that you made payments, such as cancelled checks, money orders, whatever. I am wondering if he was a 2nd mortgage holder, how did he get to sell it. Doesn't the person who is in first place (largest lien holder) get that opportunity first? Also, did you pay the taxes? Did he give you a notice and follow California laws regarding notice of pending foreclosure and sale before selling?
Try contacting the state

You need to call around. A lawyer would represent you on this especially if you lived there for 16 years. Some will take it on contingency. Just keep trying. At the office I work at, we are in an appeal for some people with a similar case. Nobody would take it for them either but we did. Someone out there will help you. Don't give up. Just get the attorney pages out of the phone book and start calling around.

in case you have a realtor, this is his activity (getting extra people). even regardless of the undeniable fact that, the optimal thank you to get people in is to create the thought it somewhat is a huge style of domicile for the money. So... a million. Do an excellent style of industry analyze. be sure your house is priced very competitively. while you're priced larger than elementary, your concept of one month is out the door. extra effective, be sure your cost is aggressive on your community--this may be complicated in case you have the nicest domicile contained domestically. 2. be sure your domicile has shrink attraction. people many timescontinual by first. clean your landscaping, plant some colourful flora, paint your front door, do away with the rusty refrigerator on the front portch (in basic terms kidding). be sure your mailbox is clean, save the backyard mowed and trimmed. people will see your domicile even earlier you coach it. 3.

Congress is currently investigating predatory lenders. You may want to contact your local congress person. You may also want to file a complaint for fraud with your state's Attorney General's office. In addition your state may have a commission that deals with banking-lending-mortgages or real estate problems.

You may be able to find a pro bono lawyer by researching your state bar.
Be prepared to provide as much evidence as possible of the fraud you alluded to.
Good luck.
