Being a strong leader among young attorneys, Zekri is quoted in the Authority Magazine article as saying:

“Knowledge is power, and most people know very little about the legal system, so I use my legal education to help the less fortunate through pro bono work as much as possible. I also recognize that I would not be where I am today without the incredible mentors I have come across during my journey.”

Zekri graduated from Riverdale High School’s International Baccalaureate program, Florida Gulf Coast University (B.A., summa cum laude), and the University of Florida Levin College of Law (J.D., cum laude).
