fraudulent foreclosure


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I was victim to a fraudulent loan and the first time I went to court with a great lawyer on an unlawful detainer, he was able to stop the eviction. But the case takes lots of time and money and after 40K my lawyer filed a motion to withdraw from the case. But he had filed a lis pendans.
Next I am in court again on an unlawful detainer but the property has changed hands and Wells Fargo bought it in some sort of group of foreclosing homes. The judge evicted me without even opening the file. When he asked
the Wells Fargo lawyer if he had a clear title he said yes, but how could that be if there is a lis pendans filed? Is there a time limit as to when I can reopen, or continue a case?
The other problem I have is that the new lawyer did not add Wells Fargo, How do I do that? I wanted to find a lawyer or paraleagle that will work with me as I dont have much money for a lawyer. Is there somewhere to find legle information on real estate laws?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lis pendens is only a notice, it doesn't encumber the title itself. It just warns of another pending lawsuit.

What is the nature of the other lawsuit?
