What happens to the attorney, will I get some sort of reimbursement for fees paid to the attorney, I have filed a grievance and the attorney was found neglible. What happens now?

The attorney could get fined, sanctioned, suspended and/or lose their license to practice law — depending on the severity.
Do you mean negligible (as in not significantly at fault) or negligent (meaning, at fault)?
sanctions from the bar and the court can include damages.
