That's cool, but bear in mind that courts in the United States are generally required to be a little more lax in their enforcement of procedural rules when a party is pro se. Not saying you did make mistakes, but if you did, you may have gotten a pass.
Additionally, you haven't given any of the details of your case, so I'm going to assume you were simply in a position where the facts of your case weighed heavily in your substantive favor, and no amount of legal maneuvers by the defendant would have made a difference.
There's nothing magical about lawyers. They are mostly just boring, studious people who excelled in non-STEM academics and were good at memorization and test taking. If you have a strong case, it won't matter very much who the lawyer is on the other side.
I did make one or two procedural mistakes, including sending an email to the bailiff without copying the opposing counsel (ex parte). in another instance, the opposing counsel made a mistake of their own in following the specific judge's rules for listing working copies. I agree, the facts of the case did seem strong, but there was a matter of interpretation of the statute that could have gone against me.
