More details to this question:
My trial attorney cost me 7 plus years of my life because he rushed my case to trial without any investigations, and he did not call any experts, even though two were critical. He is also ineffective counsel because his error during trial caused the outcome of trial to be different. It is documented he needed more time to prepare for trial, but he failed to get a trial postponement. He breached his written contract by not doing any investigations and by not calling any experts at trial.

In order to prevail in a legal malpractice claim, you must prove the "case within the case." In other words, you have to prove that if the attorney who represented you racticed law within accepted standards of care the outcome would have been different and you would have prevailed.
I would be interested in knowing more about the facts of the underlying case. If you are prosecuting a personal injury case, it is hard to understand how your case could go to trial with no expert testimony. That is a prerequisite to proving damages.
