Is ineffective assistance of counsel in violation of the Sixth Amendment?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Hofmann, CASE NO. 13cr4073 DMS (S.D. Cal. 2016):

In support of the present motion, Defendant argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel in violation of the Sixth Amendment. An attorney's representation violates the Sixth Amendment right to counsel if two factors are met. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984). First, the attorney's representation must fall below an objective standard of reasonableness. Id. at 688. Second, there must be prejudice, i.e., a reasonable probability that but for counsel's errors, the result of the proceedings would have been different. Id. at 694.
