The following excerpt is from People v. Murray, B237677 (Cal. App. 2014):
A conviction will not be reversed based on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel unless the defendant establishes both of the following: (1) that counsel's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness; and (2) that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, a determination more favorable to defendant would have resulted. (People v. Huggins (2006) 38 Cal.4th 175, 205-206; Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 687-688, 694.)
