As for your malpractice lawsuit, there are lawyers who concentrate in legal malpractice. You should look for a lawyer who practices this type of law. Many lawyers will not take a legal malpractice case simply because it is outside of their practice area. Check with your local bar association. Throughout the country, many local bar associations run attorney referral services.

If you sue as Pro Se, the odds are against you even in a regular civil suit but against an attorney, they will be higher.

I know the frustration of dealing in family court. As a man, your odds are against you. I am sorry that I am not sounding positive, just trying to help you understand where the issues are. You might trying to get your family situation fixed first by filing for modification of whatever you was done. That will be more productive and easier to do.

Lawyers are trained to manipulate and collect fees. Lawyers here will argue and post stuff for me saying that but we all know it is true. I had a lawyer lie in front of the judge. I showed the judge the proof and he told me to stop and move on. There is no justice in family court system. It is made of people wanting to make money at your expense. It is a shame that people don’t realize that and act to save themselves from these vultures.
