The lawyer isn't really a lawyer. He's using that title to scam you as well.

If you have that much money, I could use about $200 for college textbooks for my daughter, and THAT wouldn't be a scam! ;)

All of it's a lie! Every word of it, every document, every photo.

Yes, photo shop is wonderful,
I got a tour of one of the "dating" scam places, they have IT workers, they buy some passports from pretty girls for some real passports. They hire some pretty girls using dozens of names on dozens of fake passports, to use for video calls and the such.
If a person pushes for video, they will say they lied on real photos, but the girl you get on video will often be prettier.
They have a large office area, with workers working all three shifts, that pretty girl is often a grandmother, or a man, you never know. They keep copies of all past talks, and have scripts they use.
A real attorney could easily just get the money sent to them, by bank check from US even.
The banks in Ghana are just as modern and some are even connected to some US banks.
And example, my US bank, and I live in China, I can use my US ATM card in any machine anywhere in China.
I can transfer money from US bank to china in 2 hours by electronic bank transfer

Yes, and can't even find the difference on most of them. For the photo copy,
They made one for me, to show me ( they are very proud of this) they took my photo and made me one with a funny name.
