Best Answer

Ineffective counsel means that the lawyer did not make an adequate effort to represent the client. It does not imply that the case should have resulted in a particular decision.

Ineffective counsel refers to a situation where a defense attorney's performance falls below the standard of competence expected of criminal defense attorneys, resulting in a violation of the defendant's constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. This can include errors in investigation, strategy, communication, or presentation of the case. In such cases, a defendant may have grounds to appeal their conviction or sentence.
