If you have been in the new state more than 3 months, you will need to file bankruptcy there. Consequently, the best course is to find a new attorney in your current state of residence who can file your bankruptcy, and ask them for help in recovering your money and your information from the other firm. It certainly sounds like you have a valid claim against the other firm, although there could be some negotiation over how much they owe you if they did some estate planning for you and those services were bundled with the quote for bankruptcy.
