**Ineffective counsel** refers to a situation where a lawyer or legal representative fails to provide competent legal representation to their client, resulting in a violation of the client's right to a fair trial. This can include various forms of inadequate performance, such as failing to investigate the case properly, not presenting key evidence, making critical errors during trial, or not communicating effectively with the client.
