You can still sue your lawyer for malpractice even after you settled your case. You will have the burden of proving that the lawyer's conduct fell below the standard of care and that you would have had a better outcome had the standard of care been followed. Not an easy thing to do, so I'd suggest you make an appointment with an attorney in your area specializing in professional negligence cases before making any decisions.

If you're in Canada, you can write a letter to the provincial law society and they will review it for you. Agrippina is correct in that you have to prove your case fairly stongly. Good luck
