She advises municipalities, public authorities, and other government-related entities on a wide range of legal issues, including land use and zoning matters, Right-to-Know Law requests, eminent domain proceedings, and commercial disputes.

Her experience includes preparing grants, resolutions, and contract extensions, assisting with public records requests, and attending board meetings to provide legal support and guidance. She also represents public entities in eminent domain proceedings and related legal challenges.

In addition to her public sector work, Lexi assists clients with real estate due diligence for commercial acquisitions, including the review and analysis of title commitments, surveys, zoning reports, and environmental assessments.
