Lexlee received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Louisiana State University in 1990 and thereafter received her law degree from Loyola University in 1994. While a student at Loyola, Lexlee was a member of Loyola Law Review, Loyola Moot Court and competed in and placed as a finalist in national competitions.
After graduating from law school, Lexlee immediately began representing individuals against insurance companies to protect their rights and recover fully for their damages. Lexlee practiced with her father, Lee Overton, in a family law firm for approximately ten years before founding her own firm.
In 2002, Lexlee was selected as a student and graduated from the Trial Lawyers College founded by Gerry Spence. Since that time, she has attended numerous graduate seminars for advanced trial training. As a result of her extensive training, Lexlee was asked to join the staff of Trial Lawyers College in 2004 where she has shared her knowledge with colleagues from across the nation.
Lexlee dedicates a large part of her practice to helping children who have been injured or wrongfully harmed. As a result of representing a six year old child that became paralyzed in a collision, Lexlee has become a passionate advocate for protecting children from injuries, especially in the area of car seat safety.
Lexlee currently serves as the Regional Coordinator for the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force and is a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. This certification allows her to inspect and install child safety seats. Sadly, improper installation of child safety seats is one of the leading causes of childhood deaths.
Lexlee makes herself available to any member of the public for FREE child safety seat inspections and installations by appointment. She also speaks to many local groups concerning child safety and injury prevention. Her passion for keeping children safe has led her to begin forming a non profit foundation that will be focused solely on preventing injuries to children.
Lexlee continues to work exclusively on behalf of injured individuals and family members of wrongful death victims. Lexlee is member of Louisiana Association for Justice and is licensed to practice in all Louisiana State and Federal Courts.
