First, if he meant that he filed a lawsuit, then he should not have done so without your knowledge and consent. Second, whether you recover anything has little to nothing to do with whether you terminate your relationship with this attorney. You can pursue your claim yourself, or with another attorney. You may want to ask him to clarify what he means by this statement. But, it is not true that simply by releasing him you somehow lose your claim. You may want to consult with another attorney and provide him or her with more details.
