Do you know how difficult and costly it is to sue an attorney for malpractice?

Do they?

Not being snarky here but I've encountered some really crappy lawyers and they seem to be doing great ($$$).

It really sucks one cannot publish something like "this guy charged me $5k, wrote my name wrong and forgot important paperwork the day we showed up to court" as that could make you liable for damages. There should be a safe harbor for that.
