Does trial counsel advising a criminal defendant that he 'could' be deported for entering a guilty plea breach trial counsel's duty to give 'clear and correct' advice to a criminal defendant regarding deportation consequences of conviction as outlined in Padilla v. United States, and therefore place counsel's performance below the standard of reasonableness as laid out in the Strickland test?
