Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

In a Legal Malpractice claim (Unlimited Civil), can Plaintiff state in the complaint the monetary amount of damages being sought? or does the complaint have to state: "in the amount to be proven at trial" or "according to proof". ,,,,, The reason I ask, is because in Personal Injury claims, and Medical Malpractice claims, the law forbids for Plaintiffs to state the monetary amount being sought in the complaint. ,,,,,, (and just so you know, the firm has their own Insurance & the owner/defendant is a Middle Eastern Asian Man, in case there's a judicial conflict of interest due to "Judicial Camaraderie"........."Judicial Brotherhood").
