Depends on how long this event took place. Do you have a receipt notice of the filed I-130 Relative Petition or not. If you do and havent received the approval notice within 30days of notice, call the USCIS customer service line to send you a duplicate. Since you have a lawyer it is logical to assume the lawyer can get you a duplicate, it cost you less to get a dulplicate than to pay a lawyer. Or better still, contact the old lawyer, it should not affect his professional responsibilty that you fired him, your attorney can get in touch for you.
