I hate to see that your A seemed lost and caught off guard. They are supposed to work for your best interests and you should be able to relax a little knowing that the legal aspect of things are taken care of.
I know nothing about how all of this works so I will not offer any advice other than letting you A know how disappointed you are in him and maybe him communicate better with you and letting you know exactly what to expect from here on out.
Sorry for the set-back. Hang in there and good luck.
