The advocate had not done my work and has not returned my money

I am an 83 year old pensioner. I paid 25000.00 to an advocate in Kolkata (who claims to help the poor) for my case. He did not do the job. When I asked him to return my money he threatened me over the phone. I am an helpless woman and I need the money urgently. I don't have the means of fighting with him. What should I do?
