More details to this question:
I had retained a lawyer. During the course of related legal work his paralegal borrowed money from me, totaling $15,000, in the form of a note payable for 10 years. At the time I don't know if the lawyer was aware of the loan. Now the paralegal cannot be found. Is the loan illegal? Can I hold the lawyer liable?

Unless the lawyer guartanteed the note, the lawyer would have no liability for the debt of an employee. There appears to be nothing "illegal" about the loan.
