I realized my malpractice premium was much lower than attorneys who have been in the game for much longer than I have. My practice is fairly new, so I thought it'd be much higher than for experienced attorneys. How many cases do you have to build up to be considered a risk? Are you more prone to claims if you've practiced for a longer period?

Yes, the longer you practice, the more cases you will have, so your premium goes up. It's not like car insurance that decreases as you age and get more experience. The more experience you have, the more exposure you'll have.
