Highlight

To establish ineffective assistance of counsel, a person must show counsel's performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness and the deficient performance prejudiced him.
The standard of review for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is a mixed question of law and fact, but the trial court's findings of fact are subject to a clearly erroneous standard of review.
The credibility of witnesses is left to the trial court to determine.
