Did you sign ANYTHING - that could be construed as a contract for the lawyer to act on your behalf - like a "standard" agreement - if so do you have a copy in English.
Has the lawyer actually stated that he has passed on the money or not.
Has the developer told you that he has NOT received the money.
Have you got a letter from the developer accepting your cancellation.
Have you got a receipt from the lawyer for the deposit.
Do you have anything that tells you how the "client account" will be used.
