Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Delaware

possible legal malpractice
I was involved in a divorce case in which I asked my lawyer to file for interim alimony as early as August 2005. Almost everything in the divorce was settled by October 2006 except for the filing of alimony and split of retirement funds. I involved the founding partner of the firm in February 2007 and the motion for alimony was finally filed. The motion was denied with the reason being that when the divorce was finalized my attorney submitted the paperwork to the courts with wording included that all outstanding matters were settled, so I was now not entitled to file for alimony. My questions would be as follows: 1) Was I misrepresented? 2) Do I have any recourse against my attorney?

Re: possible legal malpractice

Someone would have to review your file and court filings to determine if you have a claim against your attorney.

The second issue is how much alimony would you likely have received. That is whether the claim is large enough to pursue.

If we can help let us know. Services at a reasonable fee.
