State of Ohio v. Creary, __ F.Supp.3d __ (Oh. App. Feb. 26, 2004) (counsel gave affirmative misadvise by advising client to plea guilty on basis that going to trial would result in deportation; court found deportation for aggravated felons to be nearly certain; while court gives considerable deference to lawyer's judgment when advising client about likelihood of outcomes within a range of possibilities, there is no justification for misinforming a client about the state of unambiguous law).
