It further stated that Markenzy does his best to balance his married and professional lives. Whenever he is out of town for work, he brings his wife and three children with him for long weekends.
It’s no wonder that being such a high-profile attorney, he has such a busy life, but as Markenzy Lapointe himself has stated, his wife has supported him through every step of his life, about which he mentioned during his appearance in the swearing-in ceremony in Miami federal court.
With the hard work and belief from his family, a Haitian-American man is the US attorney today!
Markenzy Laponite was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where his mother worked as a street vendor and his father as a tailor.
He spent his first 16 years in Port-au-Prince and eventually moved to the United States with his family for better opportunities. He faced several challenges to accomplish what he has accomplished today.
Of course, his career milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the support of his family, and his academic and professional portfolio played a significant role in his professional endeavors.
Well, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Florida State University in 1993 and a Juris Doctor from the Florida State University College of Law in 1999.
