You need to talk to the firm that you hired to take care of the matter based on your agreement.

Does the firm have another lawyer on your case?? That is important since usually you hire the law firm and not the individual lawyer in it.

You are represented by the law firm, not the lawyer who quit. They still have an obligation to represent you.

Need the details but it appears you hired the firm and they should be representing you.

The law firm is on the hook for the paid, but not performed services.

The law firm is obliged to get you another lawyer.
