NO... under the discovery act any and all information must be handed over to inquiring party's that is if the courts have not ruled to seal the case file to a time when they think public is ready to read it ...
Additional: The entire file of the attorney's efforts on your case is known as their "work product" and although you are not entitled to that original file, you ARE entitled to the contents of those files. After all, YOU were their client, and YOU paid for all of it.
However - for the work and expense of copying and collating this information, they may charge you an administrative fee for this task. If you are experiencing difficulties in getting your former attorney to release this information to you, contact your state Bar Association.
