Those positions involved day-to-day representation of clients charged with crimes, courtroom appearances, and collaboration with colleagues in public defense settings. In 2006 she took on a managing lawyer role at the Society of Counsel Representing Accused Persons, supervising other lawyers and overseeing aspects of case handling and office operations.
Over the years Exe has remained active in professional organizations tied to criminal defense. She holds current memberships in the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Washington Defender Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the King County Bar Association.
