I am assuming you don't have a contract with this firm.  Employment in Florida, as you know, is at-will.  If you leave, you can leave without any notice.  He can send you packing without notice, too.  And he only has to pay you up until the last day you work. Sometimes this happens.If you feel he is doing something unethical, contact the Florida Bar. Otherwise, just take it day by day until you leave.
