Yes, a reply from opponents lawyer can be used as evidence for your case. if the lawyer has admitted certain facts then he cannot deny that in the court later on. Legal notice is an admissible document in the court of law.

The contents of a legal notice or the reply notice are the absolute responsibility of the party and not the counsel.

The parties cannot disown the responsibility stating that they are not aware of what is written in the legal notice or the reply notice.

You can very well quote the admissions made in the reply notice if it is in your favor during trial proceedings of the case.
If certain issues have been admitted by the opposite party in the reply notice and if it is in your favor you can very well mention the same during final arguments in the case
