Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Have an "Ethical" question here I believe.

I've been named as plaintiff in an auto negligence case filed 2 weeks prior to the statute of limitations expiring in the state of FL. I retained an attorney which I've worked with in the past. He took the case asking for $1,000.00 for retainer. Filed notice of representation and a few other things. Then removed himself from the case.

Today, I looked at public records and found that the attorney that I had retained was listed as a guardian ad litem to the family of the person that is suing me in past cases?

Should he not have refused the case in the begining rather than exhausting the $1,000.00 retainer?

Thanks in advance....
