About Lexi
Lexi is a Louisiana-based litigator trusted by clients and referring counsel to handle complex maritime, industrial, and business disputes where the stakes are real. She is often brought into matters already in motion that require immediate command of the facts, sound judgment, and experienced courtroom leadership.
Her practice is anchored in maritime litigation across the Gulf Coast, including vessel casualties, operational incidents, contractual and indemnity disputes, and other multiparty matters involving significant exposure. Lexi is also regularly retained by insurers and excess carriers as monitoring and strategic counsel and is frequently engaged by national and regional law firms to serve as Louisiana trial and local counsel when a case requires steady control, careful attention to detail, and trial readiness.
