More details to this question:
I was involved in a car accident on March 18th, 2016 in which I was rear-ended by 15-year-old driver with no adult driver present. I sustained injuries as a result from the accident and had to undergo eight weeks of physical therapy as recommended by an orthopedic surgeon. Immediately following the accident, I pursued at attorney for personal injury and property damage; the auto insurance company of the individual found at fault denied the claim to cover the cost of repairs on my brand new vehicle ( 3 weeks old) in which I was forced to file under my auto insurance for repairs be done. I have medical bills that ultimately has been sent to collections as well. Unfortunately, the worse part of occurred on June 8th, 2016, when I was subpoenaed to appear in court as a witness. My attorney was not present after I was informed he would be, but his partner from the same law firm was present defending the other party. I was not notified of this nor had any knowledge. What do I do?

If you were represented by counsel, a partner of the firm cannot ethically represent the adverse party. The firm has a conflict of interest and should have referred you elsewhere.
You need to find a different attorney and your present counsel should waive their lien.
