About:
Attorney John A. Birdsall has more than 30 years of experience and has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted and victorious criminal defense attorneys in the State of Wisconsin. With over 260 jury trials, mostly for serious felonies, he has an acquittal rate that is three times the state average. John’s practice is focused exclusively on defending the wrongly accused, and he has recently made headlines for his defense of a client named Eddie Gill. After being accused of shooting and killing a Milwaukee resident, John helped uncover that the police had interrogated Gill into confessing when he was in fact not involved at all. Gill was merely a witness to the crime, and John was able to defend his rights and have the case dismissed and all of the charges against Gill dropped. John has been able to help several clients like Gill defend their rights and ensure that they are getting the best results no matter what the charges are against them. As a current member of the Board of Directors, and past President, of the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, John has helped develop sentencing guidelines for state judges and has served as a member of the Wisconsin Sentencing Commission. He also holds an AV rating, the highest available, in Martindale-Hubble’s Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, which is a testament to the fact that his peers have ranked him at the highest level of professional excellence. He also serves the State Bar of Wisconsin on the board of directors of the Criminal Law Section and as an elected member of the bar’s Board of Governors which oversees the entirety of Wisconsin’s legal system. John has shared his experiences by writing and hosting lectures for a wide range of audiences on criminal law topics such as warrantless searches, coerced confessions, prison overcrowding and truth-in-sentencing.

"I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional service that I received from Attorney Nicole Muller.She went above and beyond the call of duty to get the results that I wanted. She did what several others before her failed to do.She actually did her job! She worked tirelessly to change the entire trajectory of my situation and got my case dismissed with prejudice! I would recommend Birdsall & Muller to anyone that would like to rest easy knowing that Attorney Nicole Muller is hard working,honest,sharp, compassionate,intelligent,and actually cares about her clients! She will not lie to you nor sale you a bunch of empty promises! I can't thank Attorney Nicole Muller enough for knocking the ball completely out of the park! In all honesty you will not find a better Defense Attorney than Attorney Nicole Muller! Signing off, Samaria Wright"

"Nicole and her team are immaculate. I was almost wrongfully convicted twice for multiple felonies and a class a misdemeanor, but thanks to Nicole both of my trials were dismissed. I am very grateful for Nicole and her team because now I finally have my life back."

"Nicole & her team are hands down the most dedicated attorneys anywhere in Wisconsin, not to mention she gets results! Through my work, I have seen almost all of Wisconsin’s top criminal defense attorneys in action and I have never seen a firm more dedicated to their clients, work so hard and determined to win at trial than Nicole & John. When I found myself in need of an attorney more than a year later, Nicole was my first thought and my first call. Within hours she got the ball rolling and held her ground until the case was dismissed entirely. If you are considering hiring Birdsall Muller just do it, you will not find a better team!"
