what are the odds that an appeal is filed alleging "inadequate representation?"

Zero, Zilch, Nada.

He's an experienced, seasoned attorney.

I saw a case where the defendant wanted his guilty verdict overturned (or a new trial), b/c his attorney slept through most of the trial and didn't cross examine witnesses.

Said defendant did not get a new trial or overturned verdict.

The judge said the attorney was "competent."
