About Neyah
Biography
Neyah K. Bennett started his trial career as a prosecutor. As an Assistant District Attorney, he was in the courtroom everyday. He tried numerous jury and non-jury cases to verdict and questioned hundreds of witnesses under oath in court proceedings. Immediately prior to co-founding Raymond and Bennett, he spent seven years practicing at one of Connecticut's largest litigation and trial firms where he was named a Partner. His experience included the handling of cases involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and business disputes.
Attorney Bennett has earned recognition as a technology leader. He writes a regular column for the Connecticut Law Tribune on legal technology and firm management and he is active on the technology committees of the Connecticut Bar Association and the Defense Research Institute. He also has presented seminars on mobile lawyering, electronic discovery, and the benefits of a paperless law practice.
