Bensing Law - Cleveland, OH
The Appellate Authority in Ohio
Bensing Law, led by the distinguished attorney Russell S. Bensing, is a boutique law practice that stands apart in the Cleveland legal market. While many lawyers handle a case from arrest to verdict, Russell Bensing specializes in what happens after the verdict. With over 40 years of experience in criminal law, he is one of the few attorneys in the state certified by the Ohio State Bar Association as a Specialist in Appellate Law. In fact, he is the only one among this elite group who devotes his practice exclusively to criminal defense. This singular focus makes him the go-to resource for defendants who have been wrongfully convicted or received unfair sentences.
Specialized Appellate Services
Russell Bensing's practice is dedicated to correcting the errors of the trial court through meticulous legal research and argumentation:
- Criminal Appeals: challenging convictions in Ohio's District Courts of Appeals, the Ohio Supreme Court, and the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. He has handled over 300 appeals.
- Post-Conviction Relief: Filing petitions to introduce new evidence that was not available during the trial, such as DNA results or recanted testimony.
- Federal Habeas Corpus: Seeking relief in federal court for violations of constitutional rights during state court proceedings.
- Amicus Curiae Briefs: Frequently authoring ”friend of the court” briefs on behalf of the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers to shape criminal law policy.
A Scholar of the Law
Russell Bensing is not just a practitioner; he is a thought leader. For over a decade, he authored ”The Briefcase,” a widely read legal blog summarizing decisions from the 8th District Court of Appeals. His expertise is so respected that he is regularly invited to lecture at seminars for other lawyers. Located in the IMG Building in downtown Cleveland, Bensing Law offers hope to those who feel the system has failed them.
