Unfortunately, the USCIS will not expedite processing of your petitions because of your lawyer's mistake. If you paid the lawyer for the work already done, maybe they can just submit your applicatons for you. Otherwise, you can fire your lawyer and hire another attorney. Or submit already prepared application packet by yourself.
