Mrs. H, I'm so sorry to hear this. Your lawyer and/or the firm should have notified you that she would not be in court representing you today. It's called common courtesy to a client. You've been working directly w/him for quite a while and she knows the case. As for the replacement, what the heck does he know about the case? It sounds like he wasn't up on the particulars and did more harm than good. I would call, schedule and appointment and talk to her about this.
Please take some time to take care of yourself. We will be here to listen and try to help if we can. Hugs to you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
