Attorney John A. Birdsall
Wisconsin criminal defense lawyer

Attorney Birdsall founded Birdsall Law Offices, S.C. with a dedication to pursue his passion to uphold every individual's Constitutional rights, to protect people from the vast governmental forces that often intimidate and overwhelm those charged with crimes.  It is his steadfast mission to maintain a vigilant guard over each of his clients. That commitment has been the driving force behind the many acquittals (not-guilty verdicts) achieved by the criminal defense attorneys at Birdsall Law Offices, and it will continue to be the guiding light in the law firm's future.

Attorney Birdsall believes in being meticulously prepared, and in standing your ground. He doesn't roll-over but explores every possible point of a defense. He will stand by your side from your first contact with him through the entire legal process.  Moreover, he seeks to make that process as tolerable and understandable as possible given all the circumstances so that you can make informed decisions about your case.

Attorney Birdsall has won numerous complex criminal appeals in both Wisconsin state and United States federal courts, challenging charges such as overreaching government conduct, illegal searches and seizures, coerced confessions and insufficient evidence. These appeals, which include victories in the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, have resulted in reversals of felony convictions, dismissals of charges and considerable reductions in sentences.

Attorney Birdsall commits himself to helping change the Wisconsin legal system for the better. He is a published author of many legal commentaries and Supreme Court briefs, a national speaker, and a local supporter of educating Milwaukee and Green Bay's youth. Among his many articles, he has written extensively on Constitutional law topics ranging from warrantless searches and coerced confessions to prison overcrowding and truth-in-sentencing.

John Birdsall earned a BA with Honors from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 1986, and a JD from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1989 where he was named to the Dean's List.
