Fungai Bennett Email & Phone Number

I am dedicated to upholding the legal profession's highest standards and consistently seek to improve my skills and knowledge through continued education and training. Afte earning my degree from the University of Dayton School of Law in 2001, I began my career at the District Attorney's Office in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, then proceeded to the District Attorney's Office in Durham, North Carolina. My service in those offices gave me extensive negotiation and trial experience. I started out being afraid to dismiss any case without a two-page explanation, then graduated to a seasoned prosecutor capable of successfully prosecuting rape, robbery, and homicide cases. My years of work as a trial attorney refined my ability to assess the likelihood of success in a trial, and my tenure in family court further refined my ability as an effective mediator and advocate. When I founded Bennett Law, my diverse background and experience equipped me with the skills to handle various legal matters effectively. While in private practice, I was nominated by the Durham County Clerk of the Superior Court and appointed by the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge of Durham County to serve as a Magistrate Judge, where I continue my commitment to upholding the principles of justice and fairness in all aspects of my service.In addition to my legal work, I am actively involved in my community and frequently volunteer my time to various organizations and causes.
