Something else he could do to take you for more than $20 is to "wash the check." That's when a person washes off what is written in the TO: line and the AMOUNT: lines with a solvent... then after drying it and ironing it flat, makes it out to them and for another amount.

Very common scam where people steal checks from your outgoing mail to do this. Never use a felt pen - always a ball pen that leaves a good impression.
Did the solicitor have you use his pen?
