Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in New Jersey

My attorney missed my court date. When I called his office he was not available and his secretary told me that he was supposedly never notified, although he knew that I obviously had another court date as I had recently applied for PTI. He was also with me when I received the paperwork for the missed court date. I have also already paid him a 45 hundred dollar retainer fee. Would I be able to get a refund or at least a partial one on the retainer?

Did anything bad happen to you at the court date? Anything irreversible?

It seems that this attorney had a scheduling mishap. If there is no damage I would give this attorney another chance to show up in court. If there was an irreversible error I would press this attorney for a quantum merit refund.
