What the attorney did may be unethical and could be reported to the State Bar. On the issue of legal malpractice, the question is did he cause you any damages as a result of his conduct. If so, you could sue him for malpractice. However, there are statutes of limitiations involved with legal malpractice claims so if you decide to do something, you should contact an attorney experienced in legal malpractice claims right away.

While the affair is ground for you to complain to the state bar association, unless you've suffered financial or other damage in the legal work he performed, there is not necessarily a 'malpractice' case.

Yes you have grounds for suit, Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress, assuming that this has caused you severe emotional distress. This is due to the fact that he owed you a duty not to violate ethical rules. Contact me directly.
