Alabama Criminal Defense
If you have been arrested for a crime in Alabama, it is absolutely essential that you retain the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney. William L. Pfeifer, Jr. (Bill Pfeifer) has been practicing law since 1993, is a former staff attorney to the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals, and has represented clients in criminal cases ranging from incidents as minor as speeding tickets to charges as serious as capital murder.  He defends individuals accused of felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic violations in courts all across the State of Alabama.

Even if you have already lost your case at trial, we may be able to assist you through appealing your conviction or filing a Rule 32 (ineffective assistance of counsel) petition.  By filing an appeal or a Rule 32 petition, we may be able to get your conviction reversed or obtain you a new trial.

Some of the matters we handle include:
• DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs);
• Theft, vandalism, criminal mischief, and other property crimes;
• Robbery (with or without a weapon or violence);
• Burglary, breaking and entering an automobile, and other unlawful entry offenses;
• Drug crimes such as drug trafficking, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, or possession of controlled substances (crack, cocaine, meth, etc), improper possession of prescription drugs, etc.;
• Assault, domestic violence, and other crimes of violence;
• Harassment, harassing communications, and related charges;
• Sex crimes such as rape, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, indecent exposure, etc.;
• Appeals from convictions already entered against defendants in criminal cases in any county in Alabama;
• Rule 32 (ineffective assistance of counsel) petitions to set aside criminal convictions entered against people who were represented by other attorneys at trial;
• Other conduct that can serve as the basis for an arrest in Alabama.
