Given that none of the stuff you have in your post has any bearing on what kind of defense you may have, it would be difficult for anyone to give any opinion.

Have you sat down and discuss with your attorney your concerns regarding the attorney's performance?

If you still have concerns about the attorney's performance, the attorney likely has a supervisor. Alternatively, the attorney may be contracted with the city or county. The city or county has an office that monitor the attorney's performance.

You can also bring the issue before the court. Depending on the facts, the court may appoint another attorney.

You can also consult with private attorneys.

I agree with my colleague, that the facts supplied do not provide any details from which any conclusions can be made about possible defenses. In regards to the performance of your lawyer, I also suggest that you discuss with the lawyer, and if necessary the supervisor. Good luck.
