Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

If I have an agreement with my attorney that he will be paid at the end of the case out of the settlement and he finds out that my mother has sold property and pressures me "ask your mother for the money" to pay him before the case is settled and he also is filing a motion to be released as my attorney based on no payment: Is this coercion.
