Maybe the most common claim on appeal from a felony or misdemeanor conviction is Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. The standard to succeed on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, a defendant must prove that trial counsel’s “performance was deficient” and that deficiency “prejudiced the defense.” A defendant must prove that their lawyer’s performance “fell below an objective standard of reasonableness under prevailing professional norms” to establish deficient performance. A defendant must also demonstrate that, but for their attorney’s performance, the outcome of his trial would have been different. If you believe your attorney did not perform according to these standards, contact us. We may be able to obtain a new trial for you.
