The Lex Collective
A private community for practicing attorneys — where you can ask the question you'd never post publicly and get an answer from someone who has actually done it.
Why this exists
People expect you to know things you simply don't know. Clients assume it. Opposing counsel assumes it. The court assumes it. Somewhere along the way you started assuming it about yourself, and now there's a whole category of questions you don't ask anyone.
You can search for an answer. You can ask an AI. Both will give you something confident and neither has stood in that courtroom, dealt with that examiner, or set that fee and watched what happened next.
Sometimes talking to another attorney is the only thing that actually helps.
That's what this is. Verified attorneys, real names, answering each other honestly — because the room is private, nothing is indexed, and nobody here is performing.
What's inside
Three rooms are open to every member, free ones included — including the full archive. Ask what you need today, and find what somebody else asked two years ago.
You're headed to a courthouse you don't know. The judge, the county, the coordinator, the local rule you can't find. Somebody here has stood in that room.
USPTO, IRS, USCIS, the Secretary of State, the appraisal district, the licensing board. Who decides, and how they actually decide.
Experts, mediators, investigators, title companies, court reporters. The list you'd give a friend who asked.
Twenty-one practice areas, each with what attorneys in that practice actually charge, the forms they'll share, and the mistakes they'd undo.
For anyone running something or planning to: what to charge, when to hire, how to delegate, and what it actually costs to open your own door.

CLE
Every one of us has to renew. Monthly CLE is included in Associate and Firm membership — accredited in Texas, with materials and attendance records kept for you.
CLE eligibility and credit vary by jurisdiction. Lex Collective will seek accreditation where available, and members are responsible for confirming and reporting credit under their own jurisdiction's rules.
Founding membership is $497 a year, and that price is held for as long as you stay a member. When the hundred seats are gone, they're gone.

Questions
Licensed attorneys. Solos, firm owners, associates, in-house, government — if you practice, you belong here. Every member's bar number is verified before they get access, and everyone uses their real name. Not open to vendors, recruiters, or anyone selling to law firms.
The community is private and not indexed by search engines. No screenshots, no forwarding, no exceptions. That said, you're still a lawyer with confidentiality obligations — no client names, matter names, case numbers, or identifying facts, ever. If you can't ask it without identifying the matter, don't ask it here.
$497 a year for as long as you remain a continuous member, even as the regular price rises. If your membership lapses and you rejoin later, you rejoin at whatever the price is then.
Neither. Discussion here is general professional conversation between attorneys — it creates no attorney-client relationship and no co-counsel or supervisory relationship. Lex Collective takes no part of any fee and brokers no arrangement. Any referral or fee division is entirely between the attorneys involved, under the rules of the jurisdictions that apply to them.

The rooms are live and seeded — the practice areas already have real content in them, including my own. Founding members shape what gets built next, and there's a room specifically for that.
