Can i have my case re-looked at and go back to court?

The appellate record needs to be examined because what is in the record already sets the stage for what can be done next. The answer to your question may take several hours of legal research. You do not state what the outcome was. What happened? Why? And to decide what the next step will be needs to be really fast because the appeal deadline clock is running and 12 days have already passed since the court session you mention.

If you were instructed to plea and did, not knowing the consequences, you can move the court for a change of plea. The unforeseen consequences must flow directly from the plea. So-called collateral consequences are not a ground to set aside.

You face an uphill battle. The court typically conducts a colloquy with the defendant to ensure that the defendant understands what he/she is giving up in entering a plea, and that the plea is the free and voluntary act of the defendant. While you may be able to argue that the PD did no investigation, how exactly would this have affected the case? Unless it would have uncovered something that would have definitely impacted your position, it won't lead to a vacation of the sentence. One does retain the right to collaterally attack a plea if matters were kept from him/her that were central to the case and could have affected the outcome. However, that is limited in time to one year from the date the plea is entered.
