Is It True That A Lawyer Can Be Fined $10.000 If He Ask His Client To Give Up Their Job And Seniority Before The Client Will Be Able To Settle His Or Her Case?

No. Judges very rarely fine lawyers, and then it's usually just for misconduct in the courtroom. There's no set amount for those fines.
If a client doesn't like his lawyers advice, don't take it. Find a new lawyer.

It may depend on the kind of case you refer to and the kind of job you have. If you are for example a real estate agent, accused of theft while working under you license as a real estate sales person or broker, and in order to settle your case for a lesser penalty, it was suggested that you voluntarily give up your license, then it might make sense. It depends on what the client might want to do - either accept the chances of a higher punishment (and maybe lose the license anyway) or to give it up at the front end in exchange for a more favorable reaction from the sentencing judge.
Your question needs more details to consider a more accurate answer.
