Lemmy built Dickie Woods after seeing the same pattern in different places: legal fees are often priced in a way that shuts ordinary people out. During his postgraduate studies at the University of Washington (Seattle), he came across research on the problems of access to justice stemming from the high fees charged by the legal profession. It troubled him deeply, and set him on a path to find ways to make legal help more affordable.

Lemmy began his immigration practice in Everett, Washington, advising individuals, professionals, investors, and companies on navigating U.S. immigration law. His background combines U.S. immigration practice with experience in technology, tax, banking and capital markets, M&A, and corporate law across multiple jurisdictions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore.

Prior to founding Lemmy Law, he served as Head of Legal for a Singapore-based technology company, leading the legal function across immigration, corporate structuring, tax, intellectual property, employment, data governance, and commercial contracting. Earlier in his career he built his professional foundation in financial services in London and Singapore, with roles at Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and The Bank of New York Mellon.
