Q: Can a NEW lawyer REVERSE what OLD lawyer already allowed to take place?
OLD lawyer never submitted new Affidavits denying former false statements. The Marchman Act was enacted on Dr. with NO physical proof nor professional misconduct, ONLY based on said bogus statements. Which in turn led to lawyer setting up probation for defendant, to save CA Medical Veterinarian Surgeon License. Dr. did not provide random testing, probation expired, NOW License may have been REVOKED! All on heresay, destroying a career.
A:
The answer to your question depends on the procedural status of your matter. Far more would need to be known to answer it. Often a subsequent attorney can find ways to cure problems caused by an earlier attorney, but if the matter has already proceed to a hearing and a determination has been made or is imminent, it is far more difficult for an attorney to undo mistakes. You need to locate a new attorney and share all of the specifics with that attorney before your answer can be reliably answered.
Good luck to you.
