If your attorney tells you the opposing attorney is close friends with his clients so your attorney refuses to argue your case what would you do?

It sounds like your attorney is telling you he has a conflict of interest, and it would be unethical (and undoubtedly uncomfortable) for him to argue on your behalf against family friends (or, in this case, against friends of a friend). He's not going to work your case, and you really wouldn't want him to under the circumstances.
The fact that he was upfront with you about it suggests he has decent ethics. Ask him to refer you to a few lawyers he feels would be able to operate in your best interest, and take the case to one of them. Optionally, you can always contact your state bar and get appropriate referrals from their service.
If you like this person, you can always return to him for future work, assuming you part on amicable terms and the outcome of this particular case doesn't create a personal bias against you. Since it appears he was honest with you in this situation, odds are good he would be honest with you in future dealings, too.
