A: Start by contacting the State Bar of Connecticut. They might have been notified by now as to who is taking over his cases. But in the meantime you might be better off just hiring another probate attorney to substitute into the case. It would be a pretty simple motion to make and ought to be approved without any trouble.
Matthew A. Wiley agrees with this answer
A: Definitely agree with Nina. Hire another attorney and have them assist with either finishing the file or possibly getting some funds back from the first attorney. It's not always that simple though.
