““ ‘To set aside a guilty [or no contest] plea because ineffective assistance of counsel has rendered the plea involuntary, a defendant must show that counsel's performance fell below the standard of reasonableness and that there is a reasonable probability that but for counsel’s errors the defendant would not have pleaded guilty and would have insisted on going to trial.’ State v. Wallace, 258 Kan. 639 , Syl. ¶ 2, 908 P.2d 1267 (1995).” Shears, 260 Kan. at 830 ; see Sanchez-Cazares, 276 Kan. at 457 .”
