About lemonade.legal

I'm a practicing attorney licensed in both Texas and California. I've spent 9 years helping real people navigate real legal situations — landlord disputes, employment issues, small business problems, contract questions, and consumer protection matters.

After years of watching clients pay hundreds of dollars per hour for what was essentially a structured conversation — "tell me what happened, here are your options, here's what I'd worry about" — I realized that most of that analysis could be systematized. Not all of it. But most of it.

That's what this guide does. It takes the analytical framework I use in my own practice and turns it into prompts you can use with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. You get the same structured thinking, the same risk identification, the same "here's what a lawyer would focus on" perspective — without the $400/hour price tag.

But here's what I want to be very clear about: this guide doesn't replace lawyers. It helps you understand your situation, organize your facts, and figure out your options. Sometimes the answer is "you can handle this yourself." Sometimes the answer is "you need a professional — here's why." The guide will always tell you which one.

If you end up hiring a lawyer after using this guide, you'll walk into that meeting as their most prepared client. You'll know the right questions to ask. You'll understand the legal framework. And you'll get dramatically more value from every expensive minute.

That's the lemonade.
