Ummmm yeeeaaaahhh. If you signed a plea agreement, there are usually a variety of "fail safes" imposed to ensure that you made your decision voluntarily and werent "coereced" whcih short of an actual gun to your head is near impossible to support. Blaming the lawyer after the fact is usually a non-starter. Unless you have a pile of money to devote to the issue to retain a new lawyer to examine the facts, you are simply likely to get chalked up another disgruntled criminal defendant, as as such typically get very little credibility with such complaints.
