Get ready for a small legal dispute

“I'm in a fight over a deposit, a bill or a small claim and can't afford a lawyer yet.”

AI can organize your evidence, build a timeline, and explain the rules that might apply — with sources. Check every claim and consider free legal aid. Not legal advice.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Gather the agreement, messages, photos, receipts and dates.
Ask the AI for a timeline and a list of relevant rules for your location, with links to official sources.
Have it challenge its own reasoning, then talk to legal aid or a lawyer before filing.

Copy this prompt

Here are the facts and documents in my dispute about [deposit/bill/claim] in [location]: [details]. Build a dated timeline, list the rules or laws that may apply with links to official sources, and the strongest and weakest points of my side. Then argue the other side's best case. Not legal advice — don't file or send anything. Stop there.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
