Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California

There are a lot of facts that would need to be evaluated to provide an answer. The key question is whether there is a meaningfull likelyhood that you would have gotten a better result from any or all the attorneys had they not mishandled your cases.

This is a tall order, as you apparently agreed to accept the $50,000. To prevail in a malpractice action you would have to prove that your most recent attorney "forced" or misled you to accept that amount,and that you would have received more money if you had gone to trial. That is often speculative, but not always. If you are serious about challenging your settlement you need to act quickly and consult with another attorney in your area.
