My Attorney Plead Guilty On My Behalf Without Me Knowing?

So I have had a lot of issues with my attorney to be honest…. So I was told to be at court this last court date so I was there, 15 minutes early. My attorney l, 45 minutes late, walked right passed me and greeted another client and took him in to the court room. When he came out of the court room he was on the phone so I sat and waited, he walked off and never returned. I called his office and asked the lady there what was going on, she got ahold of him and said he had already left the court house but that he will call me later with our next steps. I was kinda mad about this because he was supposed to meet with me before we saw the judge to answer a few questions/concerns I had. I got on Casenet to see the docket entries and the entry from that day and noticed that I had actually had court again, last week, that I didn’t know about. That is when my attorney plead guilty FOR ME? Without me there? We never discussed any kind of plea deal or anything like that? I feel like there is no way this is legal?
