Legal Question in Legal Ethics in New York

Is my ex-attorney I terminated some time ago still obliged to answer questions regarding the case he represented me or can he say "do not call me. I am no longer your attorney"? Is there any professional code regarding attorney's duty to previous clients? BTW, the reason for the break up was about litigation strategy not about fees.

An attorney that was discharged from your case has no duty to answer any questions.
