Empowering Lawyers - Inspiring Teams - Creating Winning Legacies
Your Pathway to a Powerful and Consistent Winning Team Starts Now!
WINNING TEAMS
DON’T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT
DREAM teams don’t form by accident. You achieve team cohesion and continuity by intentionally aligning your people and your goals.
The best teams are magic. Roles and personalities complement each other. The whole becomes greater than the parts. Performance soars.
We teach how to maximize the individual strengths and talents of each member of your team, leading to a team that is committed and invested in your practice.
We help you design an operational manual (plan) so you have greater control over money, case flow, and most importantly, your time.
We teach you communication secrets and skills so that you can influence and inspire your essential relationships -- with your team, clients, jurors, judges, and (even) opposing counsel
Harness your core values so that you can create a team culture and achieve consistency, efficiency, and results.
WEAK Teams Create Chaos, Will Cost You Time, Money, Create Unhappy Clients, and Losing Results.
Does your team suffer from “putting out the hottest fire” syndrome instead of taking proactive, creative, and consistent action to move your cases forward?
Do you find yourself thinking the following? “I have to do everything for it to be done right,” or “It feels like I am always waiting for someone else to complete their action items,” or “I just don’t know how to manage the constant chaos.”
Is your team out of sync and overwhelmed, without a clear, actionable plan to best advocate for your clients on a consistent basis?
Do you worry about your leadership abilities, feel like you are constantly repeating yourself, and struggle to unite your team to work toward the same goals?
Are you Ready for a Focused, Productive, Synchronized Winning Team?
Your team must be a cohesive unit, working in sync, focused on being warriors for your clients.
To do so, training must happen long before setting foot in the courtroom… It’s about bonding on a deeper level, knowing each other’s strengths and most valuable contributions.
It’s also about understanding each other’s fears and self-limiting patterns.
A strong trial team has complete trust in each other, knowing work is a safe place that fosters creativity, honesty, and out-of-the-box thinking.
Without this, you may win, but you won’t win consistently. And, you’ll encounter energies of resistance, overwhelm, and fear that will slow you down, harming your team and your clients.
Cohesive, Proactive, Creative Teams for WINNING RESULTS
I understand the unique challenges in the practice of law. I’m a 5th generation lawyer. I’ve been watching lawyers work my whole life. As a young lawyer, I quickly began to have a heavy caseload with lots of trials. This meant I learned how to be a team leader, right out of the box. I learned quickly that my staff and my co-counsel were literally an extension of myself, so we had to figure out the secrets to productivity and synchronicities.
Since then, I’ve taught thousands of lawyers how to increase the productivity, focus and motivation of their teams and how to create a team culture that inspires everyone to work for the whole. I’ve created a system that is about bonding members to know and trust each other on a deeper level. Because if you go to battle together, don’t you want to know and trust the person who has your back?
You need a team that is clear on joint values, visions and strengths, embraces fear, and finds purpose in the goals of your practice.
My commitment to you: Your team will be changed on individual and team levels. You will be deeply connected, be inspired by your desire to be authentic in your work and feel confident in the next steps on your path together.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Recently, our law firm brought Lexlee in to help us identify what separates us from other firms in the community. We were looking to transition into the firm we all wanted to become. Lexlee facilitated the conversation and directed us when we were stuck. She is one of the most creative, spontaneous, and innovative persons I've ever met.
Lexlee left us with a mission statement, a set of unifying values and goals, and a to-do list to accomplish these goals. We bonded and celebrated everything we do better than anyone on the planet. Lexlee challenged and motivated and left us in a much better place. I would highly recommend Lexlee."
Don Malarick - Ohio Trial Lawyer
“Working with Lexlee has been a critical component in our firm crafting our identity and defining our vision. Through Lexlee's insight and guidance, we have been empowered to face our fears and better understand ourselves. Through that new understanding of ourselves, we have built a collective sense of purpose and focus that we didn't have before”.
Casey Davis - Oklahoma Trial Lawyer
"When I was introduced to Lexlee, my life was chaotic; I was managing, but I wasn't living. I had not made time to enjoy the life I had built, honor myself with the gifts that come with personal success, or really even get to know myself at all. I was a very successful lawyer, a great friend and my own worst enemy.
In the short time I have worked with Lexlee, the changes have been phenomenal. I’ve made changes inside, where it counts the most.
For the first time in my life I feel loved, I feel at home, and I feel deserving of good things. Although most people cannot physically see the changes, those closest to me can feel them: the extra boisterous laugh, the twinkle of excitement in my eyes, the peacefulness I exhibit under extreme stress."
Jacqueline Ford - Oklahoma Trial Lawyer
FAQs
Q: What is the minimum number of team members per group for teambuilding work?
Team workshops can range from two members up through as many members that will benefit. We will create a customized plan based upon your team needs. With larger teams, breakout sessions may help for deeper individualized work.
Q: Do we work in person or virtually?
Both options are available. Usually, 1:1 coaching is done on a weekly basis, via Zoom or Skype. But, often, one on one coaching clients will choose to have a VIP day with me in Louisiana (yep, be ready for some awesome food in bayou country). This allows you to leave the office behind and truly tune into what you want to accomplish, whether that be to create a vision for your year or prepare for trial.
Q: Can I choose the areas of focus that our team needs most help?
Yes. We will create a vision for where you want to grow. The topics can range from revenue to personal growth goals. Our sessions will be customized to best fit the needs of your team’s goals.
Q: Can our teamwork be about our firm’s overall goals?
Yes. We can work on personal or firm goals or both. These sessions are customized to your most important needs. Typically, we recommend goal setting for one year, three years and ten years with a clear action plan to achieve.
Q: Do you help teams prepare for optimal performance during trial?
Yes! My recommendation is to have some preparation time to be focused completely upon preparing your mentally, emotionally and physically for trial. We all have fear, anxiety and limiting beliefs that can get in the way. We can discuss how to customize your preparation time to best suit you. Then, you can choose if you want help with any phase of trial from voir dire to closing. I want to help you with what you need the most so we will customize the plan on a case by case basis.
