If you don't know if he mishandled it, you make an appointment and have him explain it.

You only "report" a lawyer who did something unethical. If he didn't handle your case in the manner in which you believed he should, then contact another lawyer to discuss your beliefs with that lawyer. If that lawyer agrees that the lawyer did something wrong, then contact an attorney who handles legal malpractice cases. There are not many of them, but if you tell me the geographic area you are in, I can probably refer you to one.

Bars in most communities have a grievance committee. If there is not one in your town contact the state bar in Raleigh. They have committees which can look into your matter.

If you lost money because of the poor representation, you can look for a lawyer who handles legal malpractice cases. The statute of limitations in Wisconsin is six years. You may also report the lawyer to the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation.

You can try and work out your differences with your lawyer; you can file a Grievance against your lawyer with the State Bar of Michigan; you can retain another lawyer to review the 1st lawyers file to give you an opinion on whether there was any breach of the standard of practice and/or of the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct; or you can sue the lawyer for legal malpractice. In my view it is usually best to go with the 1st option, and only move on to others if your original lawyer will not cooperate in making sure you understand how your case was handled and why the result was reasonable.
