Prior to her legal career, Alexis served as the executive producer of a daily live legal television show. While telling untold stories of people who were disenfranchised, vulnerable, or oppressed, she helped shine the light on injustice and inequality. Whether investigating the wrongful death of a mother or exposing a financial giant for predatory lending, Alexis quickly learned that the law was critical for upholding a true and just democracy.
