Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
I know its automatic Legal Malpractice for a lawyer to not move for a Trial-Setting Preference (CCP 36 et seq) when there are grounds to do so, but what if the Elderly & Poorly Disabled party does not want to exercise CCP 36? Can the lawyer follow his client's desire to not move for Preference Trial Setting?

You are mistaken that it is automatically malpractice, and yes, the client can direct the attorney to waive CCP 36.
