More details to this question:
Retained an attorney to support some collection activities. Provided attorney with documentation on the delinquent accounts and a retainer check, set a date for a face to face meeting to discuss priorities and strategy. Attorney was a no-show, and repeated attempts to contact (phone, text, email) have not been successful. Finally called another attorney’s office in the town he practices in, learned he is in the hospital with cardiac issues. No idea when (or if) he will return to practice. What now.

The initial attorney who is now sick has an obligation to refund the retainer and give you back your documentation. If he has support staff, you might reach out to them to address these issues. If he does not have any support staff and nobody to help him, you might try to reach out to his wife (if he has one) and address these issues with her. If he has no support staff and no family, you might try contacting the local county bar association to ask it to help you with these issues. Good luck.
