This is gross negligence on your part as also on part of your conducting Lawyer. Infact , it is unlawful and illegal if someone put signature on others name, that too by an Advocate. If the same will be bring to the notice of the court, your Appeal will be dismissed on this ground alone.

Dear Client,
In such kind of scenario, the most simple procedure is to file a fresh vakalatnama and in that vakalatnama, sign both you and your mother. If problem still persists, then move a petition before the concerned court mentioning your problem.
