Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

I have hired a lawyer to represent by friend on a criminal case, however the lawyer is really not doing a good job. He does not return calls,says he is goin to see the client and dosent like he says and not filing motions in a timely manner, etc... When i contact the lawyer i have more information to tell and is being told to me. He is following up on what i am telling him. I was charged a flat rate and i never signed any contract. If i fire the lawyer, can i be reimbursed and if so on what grounds?
