The idea for Lexoor began the way most real ideas do: with frustration. Obrist Buasa, a Dallas-based entrepreneur with a background in technology and business development, spent months watching people around him struggle to find qualified legal help. Friends would ask him for attorney recommendations. Family members would spend evenings hunting through outdated websites, unsorted listings, and generic referral services that seemed more interested in clicks than in connecting people with the right professional.
The existing legal directories felt like relics. They were cluttered, slow, difficult to navigate, and almost completely indifferent to the experience of the people using them. A field as important as law deserved something that reflected the seriousness of what was at stake. People searching for an immigration attorney, a family law specialist, or a business incorporation lawyer were often in moments of genuine difficulty. What they found online did not match the weight of what they were going through.
In 2026, Obrist founded Lexoor Inc. in Dallas, Texas, with a clear and uncompromising goal: build a legal directory that actually works for people. Not for search engines. Not for advertisers. For the person sitting at their kitchen table, searching for someone who can help them.
Within months, Lexoor grew to list more than 743,000 attorneys across all 50 states, spanning 171 recognized practice areas and more than 11,000 cities. The platform was built from the ground up with speed, accuracy, and usability at its core. Today Lexoor stands as one of the most comprehensive attorney directories in the United States, with a growing suite of professional tools for attorneys and a legal forms library covering hundreds of document types.
