In re T.N.C.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the orders of the trial court terminating Mother's parental rights to her two children, holding that the trial court properly decided to terminate the parental rights of Mother.
On appeal, Mother asserted that her counsel's cross-examination of a witness for the Wilkes County Department of Social Services during the termination hearing and Mother's counsel's closing arguments constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Mother's counsel did not render ineffective assistance, and therefore, there was no prejudice to her in the hearing proceedings.
