If your loved one qualifies for a public defender but has not been appointed one yet, DO NOT let them be pressured into giving up their rights.

We have seen courts across Wisconsin ask people to waive their preliminary hearing deadline, waive their right to counsel, or move forward with the preliminary hearing without an attorney. Too often, those waivers lead to people sitting in jail for months—or even years—waiting for their day in court. This simply is not okay. These rights are being ignored because no one is telling people in custody what rights they have and what they should do.

Tell your loved ones:
⚖️ Do not waive your preliminary hearing.
⚖️ Do not waive your right to counsel.
⚖️ Do not waive the 10-day time limit.

The Constitution is not a suggestion, and rights are not negotiable. Don’t waive them because the system asks you to.

🚨 New SCOTUS Decision Alert 🚨

Can the government use your Google location history to investigate a crime?

The United States Supreme Court just held that when law enforcement obtains your historical location data through a geofence warrant, it is conducting a Fourth Amendment search.

Translation? 📱 Your digital footprint is protected by the Constitution.

For years, geofence warrants have allowed investigators to cast a wide net, collecting location data from every device within a certain area before narrowing the search to potential suspects. The Court recognized that this type of surveillance can reveal deeply personal details about where we go, who we meet, and how we live.

While the Court stopped short of declaring geofence warrants unconstitutional, it made clear that they must satisfy the protections of the Fourth Amendment. That means the government cannot simply bypass constitutional safeguards because the information is stored by a technology company.

As technology evolves, so must the Constitution’s protections.

At Birdsall Muller LLC, we stay on the front lines of developments in criminal law because today’s Supreme Court decisions shape tomorrow’s defense strategies.

NOT GUILTY

For our client, this verdict means far more than two words.

After facing a charge of First Degree Reckless Injury in Brown County and living under the weight of uncertainty that comes with a serious felony accusation, our client can finally move forward with their life.

Attorney Nicole A. Muller, partner here at Birdsall Muller LLC, successfully defended the case by demonstrating that our client acted in self-defense. After hearing all of the evidence, the jury agreed and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. We are grateful the jury carefully considered the evidence and reached the right result.

Cases like this are a reminder that there is always more to the story than the allegations contained in a criminal complaint and discovery. Our client maintained their innocence, trusted the process, and put their future in our hands.

Today, we are celebrating not a win for our firm, but a win for our client. Someone who can now put this chapter behind them, return to their family, their work, and their future without the burden of a wrongful conviction hanging over their head.

That is why we do the work we do.

This is why we fight and fight to win.

Birdsall Muller LLC is proud to announce that both Attorney John A. Birdsall and Attorney Nicole A. Muller have been recognized by the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers with two of its most respected honors.

Attorney Birdsall and Attorney Muller have both been awarded the Martin Hanson Advocates Prize and the KNS Sensitive Crimes Award for their outstanding work in complex homicide and s*xual assault cases.

The Martin Hanson Advocates Prize is awarded to practitioners who have accomplished the rare and difficult task of winning a homicide case. While many attorneys take on these serious charges with skill and dedication, this award recognizes the exceptional work required to secure an acquittal, an outcome that reflects outstanding advocacy at the highest level of criminal defense.

The KNS Sensitive Crimes Award, honors criminal defense attorneys who have secured acquittals in felony s*xual assault cases involving either adults or children. These cases demand a unique combination of sensitivity, toughness, deep legal research, and highly skilled trial advocacy. They often require mastery of complex and evolving areas of law, including medical and forensic evidence such as SANE exams and DNA, as well as navigating the challenges of examining vulnerable witnesses and litigating within the constraints of r**e shield laws. In an era where the social and political weight of these allegations is immense, achieving an acquittal represents a rare and remarkable result against significant odds.

These recognitions matter. Not because of the accolades themselves, but because of what they represent: the countless hours, the relentless preparation, and the refusal to back down when everything is on the line for our clients.

At Birdsall Muller LLC, we don’t do this work for recognition, but it is meaningful to be acknowledged by our peers for the intensity and dedication we bring to every case. These awards are a direct testament to our commitment to one thing: winning for our clients.

🚨 Major Criminal Justice Update - Wisconsin just restored its commutation process 🚨

Governor Tony Evers has officially restored Wisconsin’s commutation process, allowing certain incarcerated individuals the opportunity to have their sentences reduced for the first time in decades.

Unlike a pardon — which comes after a sentence is completed — a commutation can shorten a sentence currently being served.

The new process creates a Commutation Advisory Board, establishes eligibility standards, and introduces a separate pathway for youth offenders serving life sentences.

While no single reform solves the challenges facing our system, restoring commutations is a meaningful step in the right direction. So a huge shout out to for taking the first step. You’re one cool dude.

At Birdsall Muller LLC, we remain committed to advocating for our clients at every stage because justice and advocacy do not stop at conviction or sentencing.
