Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

I signed a flat rate agreement with an attorney. I terminated her and hired a new attorney because I wasnt happy with how the case was handled. The agreement says that if terminated early, accounting of hours is at her hourly rate. She tells me that she is going to bill me for her hours at the hourly rate because that exceeds the flat rate agreement. Can she bill me more than the flat rate because I terminated her?
