Default NYS: Is this legal malpractice, or should I take him to small claims?

Should I go after this "creep" via a legal malpractice or small claims lawsuit?
.................................................. .................................................. ...

In March 2006, I hired an attorney [the "creep"] to help me in a Section 81 involving an elderly relative.


The attorney never showed me the petition or the court evaluator's report, both of which made my hair stand up, when I first saw them this spring. That's because the documents confirmed that the Section 81 was entirely based on lies and false information.


The attorney had the nerve to bill me $7500 for doing nothing.


I suspect he was part of the "game," in which a hospital tried to take control of the elderly relative's assets.

Thanks for weighing in!
