About James C
James C Connell followed a steady course into the law. He earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice and Legal Processes from Youngstown State University and later completed a J.D. at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2012. His academic background placed him among practitioners who move from criminal justice study into courtroom work.
Early practical experience came during law school. In 2012 he served as a legal intern at the Washtenaw County Office of the Public Defender. That position exposed him to client interviews, case preparation and courtroom procedures in public defense settings. The internship sits logically between classroom study and the work he began after passing the bar.
In 2013 Connell began practicing under his own name. Operating as Lawyer James C. Connell, he handled matters that required direct client contact and courtroom advocacy. The record of that phase of his career indicates a base in litigation and individual representation rather than purely transactional work. Over time his practice expanded to include filings and appearances in multiple settings.
In 2022 he joined Weisenburger Law Offices, LLC as an associate lawyer. That move placed him within a small firm environment where case teams and collaboration shape daily work. At the firm he continued to handle trials, motions and client counseling, while also taking on responsibilities that come with working alongside other attorneys and staff.
Connell is licensed to practice in Ohio and in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Those admissions allow him to appear in state trial courts and in federal court in the northern part of the state. He has experience preparing federal filings and managing the procedures that differ between state and federal systems.
His career shows a progression from public defender internship to solo practice and then to an associate role at an established local firm. He has built a practice centered on courtroom work, client representation and procedural litigation tasks. Today he is an associate at Weisenburger Law Offices, LLC, where he continues to represent clients in Ohio and in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
