Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in New Jersey

Divorce legal malpractice

My lawyer failed to file a response motion to a PL motion; which resulted in a default finding against me. Through out the divorce I was never able to over come the default judgment even with a new attorney. The default resulted in $100k being awarded to my ex-wife. Do I have a case against this lawyer?

What does your current lawyer think? The current lawyer has reviewed the files and facts.

You have not provided enough information for me to have an opinion.
