Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Defendants filed an Aug 16 unverified general answer via an attorney who was not the attorney of record.

(The atty of record had already filed many motions trying to dismiss my complaint, and already did discovery)

I filed a motion for judgmt on the pldgs becs it was unverified and general, and objected to unauthorizd atty, and I only recognized the orig atty of record at all times, so he falsely stated in his declaration in defendants' Sep 9 response to my motion, that he was their atty of record, the orig atty of record showed up for the motion hearing, the motion was granted with leave to amend. Then, the unauthorized atty filed a substitution of atty, on Nov 1. Then filed a verified amended answer on Nov 14.

Does this Nov 1 substitution of atty prove the unauthorized atty had no authority to file the Aug 16 answer and Sep 9 response?

Did he commit perjury to falsely state in his Sep 9 declaration that he was defendants' atty of record?

This isn't internet law school for pro pers. Why don't you buy an hour or two of consultation with an attorney in your locality.
