Juveniles – TPR — ineffective assistance — conflict of interest

Eric R. appeals an order terminating his parental rights to his daughter, Autumn H-R., and an order denying postdisposition relief. Eric argues his trial counsel violated SCR 20:1.12 and had an actual conflict of interest. He asserts that, because of the conflict, counsel is considered per se ineffective and he is entitled to a new trial. We conclude counsel did not violate SCR 20:1.12 and there was no conflict of interest. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.

2011AP2416 In re the termination of parental rights to Autumn H-R.

Dist III, Dunn County, Smeltzer, J., Mangerson, J.

Attorneys: For Appellant: Findley, Brian C., Darlington; For Respondent: Peterson, James M., Menomonie; Maki, Andrew J., Menomonie
