Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Florida

Attorney malpractice

I hired an attorney to file the proper paperwork on my construction lein in accordance with the 1 year requirement. I filed the lein when the owner didn't pay me. The attorney filed the case 5 days late. Do I have a malpractice case or do I have to pursue the breach of contract suit first.
