What is the test for ineffective performance of counsel in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Holt, C075904 (Cal. App. 2015):

Because counsel's decision was a reasonable, tactical one, her performance was not ineffective. (See People v. Frierson (1979) 25 Cal.3d 142, 158 [a reasonable tactical decision does not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel].)
