Legal Question in Personal Injury in Arizona

A Very, Very Unusual Question

I retained an attorney for (2) personal injury cases. When the cases closed, I wanted to keep in contact with this attorney as I felt that he became a friend of mine. We had a good rapport. He even gave me a very nice letter of reference, a character reference that I could present to a prospective employer. When the cases did close, his secretary gave me the impression that she did not want me to try to contact him. I asked him about it and he told me that she felt I took up too much of his time and that I should no longer be permitted to contact him. He did say it was o.k. that I still do keep in touch. Last Christmas, I called to wish him a happy holiday, and she slammed down the phone on me. I then sent him a certified letter to his residence and he refused to accept it. I feel that I have lost his friendship due to this secretary. Aside from the fact that this behavior on her part is insulting to me and demeaning, is there anything unethical about an attorney blocking out a former client? What if I had to contact him about something in reference to the cases? Also, her hostility to me is so severe that is is frightening. Is there anything at all that I can do about this? Please, please respond to me. I feel so badly.
