Re: legal malpractice

You may have problems with the statute of limitations. You need to get with an attorney to explain all the facts to determine whether you can pursue a claim. A specific statute requires her to provide insurance information within 30 days of a written request and if she fails to do so you may report that fact to the Florida Bar in the form of a greivance complaint. Of course, she may not have malpractice insurance. It is not required.
