Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I have been fighting a civil lawsuit against me for fraud from an Insurance Company that says that I inflated personal property claim. The civil case was sealed and the DA did not go forward and therefore the Insurance Company brought the lawsuit forward. The lawsuit was brought forward 4 years after the fire and we have been fighting this for 2.5 years. Then after I have given depositions, mediation hearings, answered interrogatories and etc, the DA filed a criminal case. Since I could not defend myslef financially Criminally and in Civil court, my civil attorney dropped me, I had to pay 15000 to criminal attorney and now we have a pre-trial hearing next week. However during the time that the Civil attory was not on record the Plaintiff says that they got a motion for deemed admissions since I supposedly did not answer. I had nothing serviced on me and had no idea this was taking place. The attorneys for the Plaintiff have been so unethical throughout this whole case that this is not new. I was told by my crimnial attorney not to answer anything more. I am so screwed up and am sinking in attorney fees. I have spend 86,000 defending myself as I thought that Justice would prevail. I did not commit fraud and did not misrepresent anything. A disgruntled tenant started the whole thing and has made it her mission to destroy me over a very large ax to grind. Can I get the motion reversed for the deemed admissions.???? Thanks so much for your time and knowledge.
