Lenore Zakhem

The hard work, sacrifice, and dedication my parents endured throughout the years has strengthened me to be the best I can be for my clients, colleagues and the legal profession as a whole. As an associate with the firm's Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury Litigation Groups, Lenore Zakhem represents individuals and families injured due to general negligence, medical errors, and other wrongdoing. After receiving her bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from Oakland University, Lenore pursued her Juris Doctor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, where she supplemented her studies with extracurricular activities and real-world experience. On campus, she participated in moot court, advocated for clients as a student attorney with the Juvenile Appellate Clinic, and led efforts to give back to the community as vice president of Lawyers Lending Hands. Lenore spent two of her summers clerking for Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Mark Switalski and clerked for a boutique family law firm during her third year of law school. After graduating and passing the bar exam, Lenore was an associate attorney with a busy civil litigation firm, continuing to hone her written and oral advocacy talents, strengthen her discovery and motion practice skills, and working on cases up to trial.
