My attorney made several mistakes during the representation How can I tell whether or not the mistakes constitute professional negligence
Not every perceived mistake will support a legal malpractice case. Lawyers are duty-bound to exercise the competence and diligence that is normally exercised by attorneys in similar circumstances. Lawyers are entitled, however, to a certain amount of judgmental deference, meaning that strategic decisions that look like mistakes only with the benefit of hindsight will not support a legal malpractice case.
The clearest legal malpractice cases are ones where the attorney has failed to undertake a clear duty, such as missing a statute of limitations or court deadline. Legal malpractice becomes much more difficult to prove where the attorney can justify his actions as being strategic in nature.
