More details to this question:
My attorney presented an offer that went completely against what I told him I wanted, and submitted an incorrect child support guidelines worksheet during a family law mediation. I feel that the session was wasted due to him making an executive decision about my case without consulting me. Would I have a case for malpractice or grievance?

Highly unlikely. Moreover, it would be virtually impossible for that to happen since you would have been directly involved in the mediation process and would have had the ability to point out or correct any incorrect offers extended or misunderstandings.
