Escrow Agent Released Funds While in Dispute and is Being Evasive When Asked About It

My HOA Property manager asked for a large 'overpayment' of about $13K. It was clearly a mistake and although we were trying to get the HOA to send a corrected request, ( the property manager has taken months to respond), and so the escrow agent released all the funds to him. Without telling me that she was going to do that and after I had requested that she not until we get it sorted out. I received a partial refund from the HOA, it is $1K short, and I asked the agent if she released the funds and she responded with a question to me - "if I had received any communication from the HOA". I asked again if she released the funds and got no reply. Is the escrow agent breaking the law? I will never get my $1K that the HOA shorted me. Do I have any recourse?
