There are certain ethical prescriptions to which lawyers must adhere, and it seems quite clear from your short description that your attorney violated them.

You likely have a claim for money damages against him, and I hope that he has malpractice insurance. Of course, without more details and probably a face-to-face meeting, it is not possible to assess your situation fully.
