Your post leaves out some crucial information - (1) why did you not attend the hearing? (2) Why did your attorney leave the case and when did they leave?

If you voluntarily did not attend the hearing than you have waived your appearance and the court acted properly. If you had no notice of the hearing that you may be able to seek to overturn the judge's decision, but you are going to have to file a motion with the court to undo the judge's ruling. You need to consult with an attorney immediately because your time to act is controlled by local laws, and if you miss the deadline you will not be able to undo the judge's ruling.
