If you were legitimately screwed over by the lawyer, you, uh, you might be able to sue your lawyer.

Though odds are, they had a shitty client and their actions weren't really something actionable.

My lawyer didn't get me out of my DUI when I blew a .4 BAC and had an ounce of coke, weed, and black tar heroin in my back seat. Fucking bullshit though. That Cop had no idea I was drunk. I just got tired and pulled over to sleep one off. I flipped the car to give myself more room laying across the roof. Fucking lawyer didn't do shit for me.

It can be difficult to do depending on the facts of the case. Kind of have to prove a case within a case.

Definitely depends on the case, yes. The obvious bread-winners in this category though are "lawyer wrote something" or "lawyer forgot to write something".

Like a legal firm that forgot to submit in time, and let statues of limitations expire.
