Respondent appealed from a circuit court disposition order adjudicating her minor children wards of the court and finding that they were neglected and abused. Respondent argued on appeal that her trial counsel was ineffective for failing to move to dismiss the wardship petitions rather than waive the 90-day time limit for the adjudicatory hearing to commence. The appellate court affirmed, finding that respondent could not establish the prejudice prong with regard to her ineffective assistance of counsel claim given the “overwhelming” evidence of medical neglect.  (ELLIS and COBBS, concurring)
