Outlet Boxes that PUSH in.

Any Suggestions - How to Fix Outlet Boxes that are not secure in the wall opening -(OK with wings to keep from pulling out, but nothing to stop from going in)? We purchased an OLD Home in 2006. Had it Re-Wired before moving in. (younger licensed electrician who had young men working for him). Found some outlets would push into the wall. Most wall materials are lath and plaster, others dry wall, so it must have been difficult to cut an opening exactly to size. Plus some of the original openings were used. Do we have any cause for redress from original electrician since it has been 4 years now? Should he/they have known better to have used another method to install "boxes"?
