What do I do when my divorce lawyer was "let go" by his firm?

More details to this question:
I am very close to finalizing my divorce that has been going on for more than a year. I found out last night, after sending emails and phone calls to my lawyer with no response, that he is no longer with the firm. I'm not sure if he got fired or laid off. I trust him and he is the one that is familiar with my case. One of the partners from the firm called me last night and I have an appt to meet with him tomorrow, and he said he will waive his consultation fee. Isn't that nice of him! What am I supposed to do? My legal fees are already over $10,000. Do I have to pay someone all over again to become familiar with my case? Please help!!
