You should review your attorney-client fee agreement for the relevant provision.

Typically, no. However, you may have signed a fee agreement that states otherwise. If you are switching attorneys, make sure you're aware of the statute of limitations for your case. If you miss the deadline, you won't get another chance. In other words, don't delay in finding another attorney.

You may have to honor what is called an attorney's lien for time he put in on your case. If there was an offer to settle and he has language in his contract using that to fix the fee amount that might present additional issues for you.
