Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Divorce - Property

Docket No.: 20050068
Filing Date: 11/29/2005

Author: Kapsner, Carol

Highlight: Conclusory allegations that counsel failed to call certain witnesses without indicating what the testimony would have been, how it might have affected the outcome of the trial, or what prejudice may have resulted from the failure to call them, do not support a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.

A defendant must offer evidence of how any additional witnesses would have aided the defense's claim.
