Do lawyers not take a case until the plaintiff files police charges?

Think about it

If someone wants to sue a doctor for malpractice, do they have to file a police report and/or a complaint with the medical board before an attorney will consider taking it on? I'm not sure who to file the complaint with and what to do, so I contacted an attorney to represent me in the case but he said no because I didn't have anything filed against him. Should I ask another attorney or should I file charges first?
