Attorney didn’t show up for my court date?

Location: Missouri I’m in a sticky situation and I’m honestly not sure what to do here. Back in March, I got into a car accident that was my fault. Nobody else was involved and/or injured thankfully but I was left to face to music of my own actions and handle the tickets that I got. I was ticketed with multiple things and was facing losing my license, so I found a local attorney who had been recommended to me multiple times. Everything seemed great, we had a consultation appointment going over everything. Come after my court date, I’m told that there is a continuance because my attorney was missing paperwork from my insurance company. I was not aware of needing this information, so of course I get quick to calling my insurance and having that paperwork faxed over to my attorney. My court date comes around again, and again I’m told my insurance company hasn’t faxed it over yet. So I call again and stress the importance of having this sent over, and it was. I got confirmation of that from my attorneys front office lady. I make sure to communicate with her again before my next court date to make sure my attorney has everything he needs, and to finish payment. She took my card information to process the payment after my attorney went to this court date. I have not been charged, even to this day. My now 3rd court date passes, and I don’t receive any call or mail about any information on my case, payment, anything. I tried to call, but I had a few previous challenging times playing phone tag with the front desk lady, the same as this. I left a voicemail and nothing. Today, I get a summons for failure to appear to my court date in the mail and I’m confused. Mildly scared. I’m 20, and have not ever dealt with a situation like this. What are my next steps here?
