It's a good point. In that case, I don't see the original lawyer having a very strong complaint. To distort it a bit, suppose the lawyer spent many days preparing for a case, then prepped the client before the court date, sharing the entire strategy. The client then dismissed the lawyer without paying and hired a cheapo lawyer, providing the new lawyer with a ready-made case. That would be pretty shady, even if there was no formal agreement against such behavior.
