You may ask for a Continuance (motion and notice). However, if you still can't find an attorney (just because your last attorney dropped the case) you have to represent yourself. The law is that the legal process continues - with the party available. You may sue your attorney if he dropped the case because he have to have a mighty good reason to drop a case - you may also make sure you take him to the legal board in your state. That's what I will do with the rat who dropped my case -- after I finish with my case.
