Is ineffective counsel ineffective for failing to object to an order in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Pecora, 2d Crim. No. B251974 (Cal. App. 2015):
Appellant contends his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance because counsel failed to object to the order. Because the order was supported by substantial evidence, any objection to it would have been futile. Counsel is not ineffective for failing to make a futile objection. (People v. Price (1991) 1 Cal.4th 324, 387.)
