Hello,
I am currently using jfw 12 with lexis in my office. I find it accessible. all of the boxes, edit fields and links are spoken. if you know how to use the jfw find command and other commands like headings and list links, you should be fine. 
the best thing to do is explore the various pages to get a sense of the layouts.
i have voiceover on a mac at home, but have not tried it with lexis.
