Ineffective assistance of counsel is when an attorney’s services to a defendant in a criminal case fall so far short of what a reasonably competent attorney would do that it violates the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution. In other words, the counsel for the defendant was so ineffective that the counsel could hardly be considered an attorney, thus negating the “right to an attorney” as promised by the Constitution.
Ineffective assistance: That’s funny and appears valid in the case of Giuliani. Like hiring some school kid to strut and fret for the groundlings, tell a tale told by an idiot.
