I meet this lawyer in his office a friend recommend him, we never had one agreement on paper was verbal, but we exchange Facebook adress and we keep in touch, when I finally put together 2500 U$ for detective he said, to investigate and I deposit the money in his account, he stop to answer my questions and give me a lot excuses, what can I do to sue him and make sure he don't do this to others desperate single mothers and woman's thank you very much

sue him in small claims court -- bring proof of having paid him -- he'll have to bring proof of having done something substantial for you for the money, or he'll lose.

Forget suing the attorney. Go to your state's attorney Disciplinary Board and make a complaint there. NOTHING will scare a lawyer more than that possiblity. He will run at you to make it right. Tell him you are going to that Board and if he has half a brain, he will make it right without you even having to file the complaint.
