There are three remedies if a court finds that a counsel was ineffective. If a case is pending, the defendant can request a new defense counsel. The court may then approve one. Depending on the facts of the case, the new attorney may request a new trial. If a finding of ineffectiveness comes after a trial, and the defendant was found guilty, then: the court may reverse the guilty verdict, and order a new trial. If ineffectiveness occurs during sentencing, then the court will: vacate the sentence, and resentence the defendant.
