As the commentator says, trying a legal malpractice case as a pro-se is difficult, and a poor choice.  This case was about publicity and litigation.  Pro-se seems not to have opposed a motion for summary judgment, and lost her legal malpractice case.

:Filing a legal malpractice claim pro se is not the best idea. Appellant, a pro se litigant, sought both media attention and judicial relief against an attorney appointed as guardian ad litem and counsel to her. Appellee was appointed attorney and guardian ad litem to Appellant in connection with an emergency removal petition filed against Appellant by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services on July 26, 2001. On November 13, 2001, Appellee filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record, based on Appellant’s alleged refusal to follow his advice and insistence on involving the media. Appellee attached a letter from Appellant to the El Paso Times to his motion to withdraw, in which Appellant accused Appellee of being “inadequate and ineffectual.” The trial court granted Appellee’s motion.

On October 21, 2004, Appellant filed a suit against Appellant for legal malpractice, breach of contract, defamation, and violation of her constitutional rights. Appellant filed an answer on November 5, 2004, and then both a traditional and a no evidence summary judgment motion. Both motions were granted; Appellant appeals.

The Court held that it need only analyze the propriety of the no-evidence summary judgment rule, because if its standard was met, the more stringent standard of a traditional summary judgment motion would also be met. "
