What is the name of your state? calif

Does a person who pays for legal advice and assistance - not representation - have to prove his innocence if he was convicted of a felony before he can sue the law office for the service they provided? Can't he simply offer that he might have prevailed had his case been reviewed, and set forth those issues as proof?

"might have prevailed" is not good enough, especially if the law firm never represented you in the first place.
