What is the test for ineffective assistance of counsel?

To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, a defendant must show that trial counsel's performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness as measured against the then prevailing professional norms. (Strickland v. Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 688.) The defendant must also establish prejudice by showing it was reasonably probable that a more favorable outcome would have been obtained had counsel not been ineffective. (Id. at pp. 694-695.) We find the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it rejected defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim and, therefore, do not reach the issue of prejudice.
