Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The duties of an attorney assisting a defendant at trial are not at an end after verdict and denial of his motion for a new trial. At this stage, it is his duty to advise with the defendant in respect to his right to an appeal on any nonfrivolous grounds and the time limitation as well as the advantages or hazards in event of success."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ * * * a defendant’s right to appeal ‘as a matter of right’ is granted by Constitution § 5(3), Article V, F.S.A., but that no attorney should be required to file an appeal that is purely frivolous. Further, that some error that is at least arguable as to its merits, must be shown in the motion before relief should be granted on a constitutional ground such as failure of defense counsel to appeal.” (Emphasis supplied)”
