Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Florida

This is a repost of any earlier question that I have asked and I think I need to clarify a few parts of it.I have a public defender for a dependancy case that I am going through right now because of a mistake that I made, and I sent him an email and asked him a question about my case regarding my fiance. Dcf has ordered no contact with him and my daughter, I am allowed to talk to him but my daughter is not and I was asking my attorney about having that changed, due to the fact that my fiance has nothing to do with my DCF case, they origionally said due to the fact that he is not her father they felt it was best for no contact at that time, but I could later go back and asked to have that changed, my fiance is incarcerated and it is not for anything to do with hurting anyone or anything to do with children at all, my daughter loves him very much and she refers to him as "daddy" because he has been more of a father to her than her real one. My attorney emailed me back with a lot of terrible comments about my fiance, calling him a creep and a con man and refering to him as sick and bizare, and even catagorized him with Charles Manson and he has never met or or even spoken to my fiance, all he know about him is what he has pulled up on the DOC website and my fiance and I want to know if that could be considered slander or discrimination by him and the DCF because of the fact that he is incarcerated. We feel that the attorney and the DCF are acting with prejudice toward him because he is incarcerated, because they have no ther legal basis to judge their comments on. He said in his email that my fiance is abusive toward me and speaks to me very disrespectfully, which is not at all true, the man has never spoken to me in a cruel manner he has never even raised his voice toward me in the 8 years that we have been together, I do not know where my attorney has gotten this information, but it is all lies. We want to know if there is anything that can be done about this. My attorney is refusing to ask what I have asked of him because of how he feels about my fiance and what he personally thinks, and he expressed his personal feelings and thoughts in the email, and I felt that it was very unprofessional and I do not see where it is legal for him to do so and to try to persuade me on a personal basis,. I was under the impression that he was supposed to be trying to help ME. He said that I should forget about my fiance and find a decent guy, that I am an intelligent, attractive, and delightful young lady and I can do better than that "creep". Is this common procedure for an attorney to make such personal comments to a client?
