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.
