I wouldn't worry too much. A lawyer's disbarment may or may not have anything to do with his effectiveness in a given trial. It is encumbent upon the defense to develop the ineffective assistance claim. Drug addiction in and of itself will NOT generally be grounds for a claim of ineffectiveness. The defense will have to show that his or her addiction rendered him ibncapable of carrying out his appointed duties.
