What is the test for ineffective assistance in a civil case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Barajas, 2d Crim. No. B266151 (Cal. App. 2019):
Appellant fails to establish a claim of ineffective assistance, which requires a showing of both deficient performance and prejudice. (Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 687-696 [80 L.Ed.2d 674, 693-699] (Strickland).) Appellant makes no showing of prejudice, i.e., a reasonable probability that he would have achieved a more favorable result if counsel had preserved his constitutional claims. (Ibid.)
