Cynar, J.
(concurring in part, dissenting in part). I agree with the majority’s conclusion that the failure of defendant’s attorney to pay his bar dues does not make out a per se case of ineffective assistance of counsel.
However, I see no need for a remand in this case. My review of the trial record indicates that counsel did a fine job of representing defendant at *763trial. He objected to evidence, cross-examined witnesses and did a capable job of presenting an intoxication defense. Not surprisingly, on appeal, defendant is unable to point to any specific conduct constituting ineffective assistance of counsel.
Under these circumstances I believe a remand is unnecessary. No violation of the standard set forth in. People v Garcia, 398 Mich 250; 247 NW2d 547 (1976), occurred here. Therefore, I would affirm.
