What is the standard of conduct of counsel in a personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Smith, 134 Cal.Rptr.2d 1, 30 Cal.4th 581, 68 P.3d 302 (Cal. 2003):

We find no abuse of discretion. Defendant asserts he "was denied the opportunity to develop a record sufficient for this court to review the error in light of all of the evidence." On the contrary, the court gave defendant full opportunity to air all of his complaints, and counsel to respond to them. Defendant's specific complaints merely showed a disagreement as to tactics, not deficient performance. Disagreement concerning tactics, by itself, is insufficient to compel discharge of counsel. (People v. Hart, supra, 20 Cal.4th at p. 604, 85 Cal.Rptr.2d 132, 976 P.2d 683.)
