More details to this question:
I signed a contract with a window company and gave them a deposit of $12,000 deposit in June 2017 and check was deposited the same day. Four months later after many delays, I found out the contractor had been lying to me for months, never order the windows, forged documents from the supplier and refuses to repay the deposit.

You will need to hire a lawyer to sue them and try to get a judgment or settlement. Collecting will be a problem but it may be worth spending some additional money in an effort to try to get reimbursement of the funds already paid. In the future NEVER pay for such services in advance.
