Incompetent counsel

Is there any law, under which we can say that our previous counsel was incompetent and did not let us file certain relevant documents and now as we have changed the counsel we may please be allowed to submit the same ?



Quick Summary
If you believe your previous legal counsel was incompetent and prevented you from filing important documents, you have the right to change your lawyer. The key is to focus on seeking a remedy, such as permission to submit the late documents with your new counsel, rather than pursuing retaliation against the former lawyer. While specific laws vary, the ability to change representation is generally straightforward.

Focus on remedy and not on retaliation.

You have not posted the material facts. Anyhow, there is nothing that prevents a litigant from changing his lawyer.
