If you signed the dotted line without checking out the legal aspects of what was written and what you signed and did not obviously keep a copy, you probably have signed into and over to him everything.

Sounds like you need to find an attorney to look over the contract you signed to see if there is anything that can be done. I know hind site is 20/20, but you should have actually had an attorney look it over before you signed anything.

How could he transfer title without paying off the mortgage?
Call 1) the title company and talk to them.
2) Call the bar. If he is an attorney, report him.
But hire your own attorney to review the contract you signed. See if your local tv stations have some sort of investigative reporter. They may do a story about it and get you some help for free.

Seems to me you should be asking or looking for a real lawyer instead of sharing this for us fly by nighters

You need to file a complaint with your local District Attorneys anti fraud unit.
You also need to file a complaint against this attorney with the state bar association.
You also need to hire an honest and competent attorney yourself.
This happens quite frequently.
I was scammed by an attorney on a real estate transaction approximately twenty years ago.
I reported that attorney to our local District Attorney in Santa Clara County California.
The result was that the attorney was tried and convicted and sent to prison.
That attorney was also disbarred.
I check him occasionally on the State of California website to make certain that he is still disbarred.. Fortunately he is still disbarred and will probably stay that way for the rest of his life.
Yes there are creeps like this out there. But if you prosecute them there will at least be fewer creeps practicing law than there were before.
