John Eshleman Wahl (November 16, 1933 – April 26, 2010) Civil Rights attorney; attorney for Harvey Milk. Wahl was perhaps best known as the lawyer for Harvey Milk until Milk's murder. He was an important early influence on Milk, helping him focus on being heard outside the gay community. According to publisher Thomas E. Horn, as "Harvey was gearing up to run for supervisor, John was trying to keep him straight, so to speak." He also represented Oliver Sipple, who had been "outed" by Milk after saving the life of President Gerald Ford, in Sipple's suit for invasion of privacy against the newspapers who outed him.
