Ask Lex: quick legal questions
Fast, plain-English answers to specific legal questions. 500 credits per question.
What it's for
Ask Lex is the quickest way to get a plain-English answer to a specific legal question — "how long do I have to file a car accident claim in Ohio," "what does a right-to-sue letter mean," "can a debt collector call me at work." It's not a full case analysis; it's a fast, focused answer.
Good questions to ask
Ask Lex works best with a specific question and enough context to answer it well — your state, the type of matter, and any relevant dates. "What's the statute of limitations for a slip and fall in Texas?" will get you further than "do I have a case?"
If your question turns out to need the full picture — a value range, comparable matters, a deadline calendar — switch to Analyze case or Build a case instead.
Cost
Every Ask Lex question, including follow-ups in the same thread, costs 500 credits. Your free 10,000-credit signup grant covers 20 questions.
