A pressing iron was used to iron my sued-like dress meant for dry cleaning it left burnt like signs on the fabric. How can I get the fabric back to its normal sued look? can somebody help?

If it was burned by the iron, the damage is permanent. I'd wash it---a lot of washable clothes are labeled dry clean only (What do you have to lose?) Check the label on your dress. If it is polyester (which is likely is), you can wash it without damaging it in the gentle cycle. Hang to dry or dry on low heat. But do NOT use fabric softener or drier sheets--it will leave an oily residue. You can iron it on the back side of the fabric, on LOW heat.

What lawyer did you hire to sue your clothes and your iron?
If you meant "suede", then no - I don't think you can do anything about burn marks. Except maybe sue the dry cleaners.

It may be ruined. I had a velvet dress that my friend borrowed for a homecoming dance back in the day. Her mom ironed it and ruined it too.

try ironing it on the wrong side, that might help
then try using a suede brush on the right side
