I feel my lawyer did not work in my best interest

I retained a lawyer for my divorce. I told her repeatedly that I was fighting over nothing. My wife and I had agreed on everything. No fighting at all. My lawyer kept pushing for me to go after my share of money, house, everything. I told her a total of 4 times that I did not want to fight. She finally told me that she understood. So it was a surprise to me when I got a letter from my lawyer that she had written to my wifes lawyer about the division of property. I emailed her right away. She wrote back saying it was procedure to do this. I fired her the next day. She then wrote me a Email stating that I was still responsible to get my financials together and provide them to the court, and that if I did not I may be in trouble. She wrote some other things. I felt she was trying to intimidate me. I told my wife I had fired my lawyer. She was worried I acted to quickly. She then had a meeting with her lawyer. When I did get to talk to her after that meeting. She told me that her lawyer said "Well that makes everything a lot easier". So now all I have to do is wait for her lawyer to send me the papers to sign and it is done. I feel my lawyer took advantage of me for my money. I would like some feedback from anyone on their thoughts. Should I file anything against my lawyer? Thank you for your responses.
