In general, if your lawyer makes a mistake, you can make a claim against his malpractice insurance, file a bar complaint, and/or sue the attorney. I'm not sure where you are in the process or what has been done, but it might be advisable to sit down with the attorney and ask him directly what he intends to do to fix the mistake.

Contact your local bar and file a complaint. They can also give you contact information for attorneys who handle malpractice claims.

It would very much depend on the nature of the malpractice. You should consult a malpractice attorney for assistance. However, unless the amount at stake is fairly large, you may have trouble getting a malpractice attorney to accept the case.

You don't reach the issue of what to do about it until you first figure out whether it actually was malpractice or not. If it was actual malpractice, then you can force the attorney to reimburse you for the amount that the mistake cost you.

Consult a legal malpractice lawyer. Barring that, you can complain to your state bar.
