Commonwealth v. Floodgreen2 sentences2018In order to obtain relief on a claim alleging that counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel during a guilty plea hearing, a defendant must prove "a causal nexus between counsel's ineffectiveness, if any, and an unknowing or involuntary plea" by showing that he or she "was misled or misinformed and acted under that misguided influence when entering the guilty plea." Commonwealth v. Flood, 627 A.2d 1193, 1199 (Pa.
