Legal Question in Criminal Law in Iowa

Getting a new Judge

My probation revocation was overturned in part (they found one violaton still to be true) by the Court of Appeals. I talked to my lawyer about this and he said that cases are overturned all the time, and it doesn't mean you get a new judge. I don't trust this judge, and given that he has screwed up my case before, should I get a new judge, and should my lawyer ask the judge to excuse himself, is that something that happens
