If someone files motions without their attorney's knowledge, what will happen to those motions? Will they be rejected?

Re: filing motions
As long as the motion is not in grossly improper form (and I've seen some of those from good attorneys), the clerk will accept it and forward it to the court. If the motion requests a hearing, the court clerk will likely set it.(more than once I have been called to ask what I wanted to do with my so-called "motion"). The judge would likely ask the lawyer and the person filing the motion "what's going on here?", and the decision would likely depend on the answer to that question.
Good Luck.
