Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Utah

In 2/07 my Dr prescribed the wrong dose of my blood pressure meds (he tripled it), & I suffered a severe hypotensive event that has left me w/severe cognitive, neuro, & endocrine issues & have totally devastated my life in every regard. In 2008 I retained an attrn who is a senior partner at the largest firm in the state. Due to inaction on his part the court ordered a timeline & depositions were to started by the end of 2/12. Thruout Feb I finally felt like I had an attorney. On Feb 20, 2012 he showed up at my house w/out warnining & said he couldn't find an expert witness & was filing for my case to be dismissed w/out predjudice & was withdrawing as my attr. For over a yr I had requested a statement of his costs.I finally got the 31 page $110k statement! 25pgs was for making copies (his rate was $310/hr). Out of pocket expenses were ~$1000, the rest was his time. He never paid an expert to even look at my records. I have since learned of numerous lies he told me about the progress of my case. I know his actions have severly predjudiced my case not to mention that it has been 5yrs since my overdose. I need to retain a new medical mp attr very quickly & I also want to sue for legal mp. He's very well know & I've been getting a cool reception when I've contacted other firms. Should I get one firm to handle both cases & how do I find a firm that is willing to take on one of their own? Since the clock is ticking on my case being dismissed forever, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
