Unprofessional attorney

I hired this attorney paid the fees while we discussed the divorce in the initial appointment she made promises to handle my case. I thought this would be a great partnership and best resolution to my situation. So of course I had to go to the office myself to seek my court date. Upon finding out my ...court date I asked to see if the other party had been served and to my surprise it had not been done but we were to be in court in 7 days. I went to court this morning and again to my surprise no lawyer not even the other party was present. So I proceeded to notify my lawyer and after being placed on hold for 6-7 minutes she came on the phone apologizing that they changed the court date for the end of the month. So this lawyer and her staff lack communication and professionalism. A lawyer should never tell the client if "they want to take this outside" I dont recommend her at all. Im out 1200.00 just for filing and a non refundable fee two charges for the office visit but dont know where to other 300.00 non refundable fee is for.
