Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

I have hired a law firm to work withbour lender on our behalf concerning our loan and the violations in our loan papaer work. My question is what do I do if the law firm goes out of business before they have finished negotiations with our lender? This started to concern me when they began getting hard to get in touch with, I DID GET AN EMAIL FROM THEM last Thursday, but haven't spoken to anyone since the Thursday before that.
