Alexis “Lexi” E. Dettbarn

Philosophy taught me how to think; my clients inspire me to put that thinking into action.

My Approach

I believe that clients deserve an attorney who listens closely, communicates clearly, and follows through — someone genuinely invested in their goals, not just their case. That means being responsive and approachable, and doing the work it takes to solve problems as they come up, not just the ones initially expected.

Long before I decided to become an attorney, I was drawn to philosophy because it pushed me to sit with hard questions, consider more than one side, and take other perspectives seriously. That foundation still shapes the way I practice law today. It taught me to look beyond the immediate legal answer to the broader consequences and competing interests at stake in any decision, and I bring that same discipline and judgment to every client matter.

Outside of the office, I love making the most of everything Minneapolis has to offer, from discovering local coffee shops to walking the lakes with friends. Whether it’s pickleball, golf, or simply getting outside together, I’m always up for an activity.
