Agent commission w/ no sale?

So, about 2 weeks have passed since we requested our withdrawl. I sent over an addendum stating we would forfeit our Earnest Money Deposit due to violating our contract about a week ago.
Just today, I sent an email to the real estate agent we were working with saying we were going to work with another real estate agent (a family friend). However, later on tonight I receive an email from him (real estate agent w/ the condo) stating that he is still owed his 3% commission "buyer's broker fee of 3% for fully executed purchase of (condo address)"
Now, does he have the legal right to still request this commission? The deal do NOT go through, so it was not fully executed, correct? I am going to seek legal advice, but it just seems wrong if he is still owed a commission on a property that was not purchased. I think he just has hard feelings since we switched agents and now he wants to take advantage of us...
Any info or advice would be appreciated!
