Areas of Practice
- 42 U.S.C. Section 1983Pfeiffer Rudolf provides focused legal counsel throughout the United States for those who have been wrongfully prosecuted or convicted. Our firm has years of proven experience helping our clients right the wrongs they have suffered at the hands of the criminal justice system.
- AppealsWhen a criminal defendant has been convicted and sentenced, he or she is entitled to a direct appeal challenging the legal errors committed during the trial. This requires a thorough knowledge of the rules of evidence, the rules of criminal procedure, and the elements of the crime. We have taught trial advocacy, evidence and criminal law to law students, young lawyers, and experienced advocates seeking to enhance their skills. And we use our knowledge to enhance our clients’ chances on appeal.
- Post-Conviction RemediesWhen a person is convicted of a crime and their appeal is denied, the next step is to file a petition for post-conviction relief. But the lawyer must be aware of all the procedural roadblocks that exist and know how to effectively navigate around these roadblocks to present the grounds for vacating the conviction to the reviewing judge. The lawyers in our office have done this successfully for decades.
