Took payment - Skipped out

I paid him upfront with the expectation that he would be filing my bankruptcy within 3 months, Mr. Serpe did not follow through on appointments or telephone conferences. He said he was turning over his cases to another laywer due to illness, made an appointment for three of us to meet to prepare f...or a meeting of creditors, was to take care of a hearing on dismissal for failure to pay fee (which was sent to an old residence address). Closed his office and moved out without notification or forwarding address. Cannot be reached by phone. I believe his actions are in violation of the New York Lawyer's Code of Professional Responsibility. I will be taking this up with the NY State Bar Association. I believe I have a legitimate grievance and would like to protect others from going through this process. I was widowed recently, on a fixed budget, left with husband's responsibilities and now this.... Every month's delay costs me $1000 in garnishments.
