To add to what was stated above, I do not beleive this is a malpractrice situtation. Rather, this is more likely an ethical violation, assuming that the implication the attorney has either misappropriated your monies or failed to fully process the judgment is true. Malpractice targets negligent failures that result in a negative and harmful outcome to a client. That is not what is going on here apparently.
