Advocate is not responding

I wanted to file a consumer case so I hired an advocate. After receiving the fees he sent a notice to the opposite party and that's it, he has not done anything else to proceed with the same. It's been around 6 months since then and he is not responding. I only have his name and contact number and no other details. I've tried calling him with different numbers, he picks it for the first time and upon realising that it was from me, he just hangs up the call. Can anyone help what am I supposed to do here?

Dear Client,
An advocate has a fiduciary duty to protect the client's interests through honest and ethical means, regardless of the potential for negative outcomes for the advocate or any other parties. A litigant can add any number of advocates to represent him/her in the court, there is no limit to this. He/she can also replace his/her Advocate if he/she has lost faith or confidence in the Advocate, she/he has the right to change counsel. Typically, such type of conduct on the part of an Advocate as stated in the query may be considered professional misconduct once a complaint is filed against the Advocate by the litigant/client under Section 35(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961 before the disciplinary committee of the State Bar Council.
