Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

If I a "contingency" attorney has been hired and you send him money towards filings, motions etc, without you being aware of what the term "contingency" means, can the lawyer be held responsible or accountable for ethical breaches and taking advantage of the client for taking his/her money and refusing to return it although his contract states contingency, meaning he only gets paid if/when we win? Thank you.
