Highlight

To succeed on a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel, a petitioner must prove counsel's performance was deficient and the deficient performance prejudiced him.
Effectiveness of counsel is measured by an objective standard of reasonableness considering prevailing professional norms.
The prejudice element requires a petitioner to establish a reasonable probability that, but for his trial counsel's errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different.
A petitioner misuses the post-conviction process by initiating a subsequent application raising issues that could have been raised in an earlier proceeding.
