More details to this question:
I was hired to help open a school in Africa. The premise was false (450 students; actually 7 students all children of faculty). The advertisement of the school as a Calvert Education school was false, website was plagiarized etc. I left with the assistance of the US Embassy as we never received work visas. They held all of our passports for months. I have not been paid. I am owed in excess of $25,000.00 from the signed contract. The owner has an LLC in Florida

You are likely to find that the ability to collect money from fraud scammers or just shady defendents is very difficult anda task most any competent lawyer will decline if you are expecting a contingent fee arrangement where the lawyer gets a percentage of the funds collected, an 40% of o 0 = 0. You will need to decide whether you want to spend money out of pocket hiring a civil trial lawyer to sue the entity and its operators to try and recover your payment and possibly expose the sham you describe
