How to deal with MIA lawyer


So my lawyer is MIA. He, neither my paralegal, will return emails or phonecalls. After I paid him well over $1,000 outta pocket. However...

My original court date was Oct 20th. My lawyer forgot to bring my car title, so the trustee adjourned it to Nov 4th. I also signed a re-affirmation agreement on October 20th to keep my car.

Does the 60-day period (where creditors can object and, as far as I understand it, I can change my mind on keeping my car) start on Oct 20th, or November 4th?

Also, after the 60th day, is there usually a one-week or two-week period of time it takes to get the discharge papers? I am a bit behind on my car payment and my car company told me "as long as I am current by the time the account goes back to normal you will be fine".

My lawyer himself, on the day of the 341 meeting...actually told me i should receive my discharge papers two weeks after the 341 meeting...which made no sense to me.

If anyone can assist, I would appreciate it!!!
