What is legal malpractice?

To recover for legal malpractice, your malpractice attorney will generally have to prove that you would have prevailed in the matter but for the attorney's malpractice. This sets up a two-fold inquiry -- first that malpractice occurred and second that you would have been successful in the matter had the malpractice not occurred. (The fact that you were offered an attractive settlement may sometimes suggest you had a decent case.)
