California Lemon Law Attorney

Expert Legal Support from National Lemon Law Center

Do you currently own or lease a defective vehicle in California? If you have purchased or leased a lemon, you may wonder whether you need an attorney. You can represent yourself, but your chances of success are much greater if you have a skilled lemon law attorney at your side.

At the National Lemon Law Center you will find that we are fully committed to consumer protection. We work to uphold both state and federal lemon laws. We will give you the personalized attention you need in order to help you find a well-qualified attorney in your area.

How an Experienced Lemon Lawyer Can Help You

California lemon law protects your rights if you have a defective vehicle that cannot be fixed after a number of repair attempts. The manufacturer is required to provide a replacement vehicle or repurchase your vehicle. Both new and certified pre-owned vehicles are covered under California lemon law claims if under the manufacturer's warranty.

An experienced lawyer can help you determine if your car qualifies as a lemon under California lemon law. Vehicles that qualify as a lemon in California are those which are defective and cannot be fixed after several "reasonable" attempts. The vehicle must be substantially impaired in a way covered by the car's warranty. This can cover everything from mechanical problems to issues that affect the car's value.

Most lemon law claims are settled out of court by way of negotiation between the consumer and the manufacturer. If your case cannot be settled out of court, you need a lemon lawyer with the dedication to take your case to trial. Our offices can connect you with the legal representative you need to pursue your lemon law case.

Protecting Consumers in California

The first step to take in filing a claim and maximizing your recovery is to contact a California lemon law attorney. Most lemon law attorneys offer a free initial consultation and will represent you without charging you out of pocket legal fees. Instead, they will seek compensation from the manufacturer or dealership.

Whether you are dealing with a car, truck, motorcycle, RV or any other product that may be a lemon, we can review your case. Our attorneys can help you obtain the representation you need.

    "I think highly of their services and would recommend them for any lemon law case."
    In 2013, I leased a high-end car, but immediately discovered a number of problems, especially sudden braking or sudden acceleration. After taking the car to various authorized dealerships, none were able to fix the problem. The manufacturer was unwilling to admit that a problem existed. After talking with a number of attorneys, I was impressed that Alex concentrated on lemon-law cases. I sent Alex all of my detailed records, he gave me a likely timeframe, and he was able to get the manufacturer to take the car back within that time-frame. I think highly of his services and would recommend him in such lemon-law cases.

    "I was screwed on a new car and they helped get a refund!"
    I got screwed on a new car. After fighting the dealership on my own for 6 months and getting nowhere, Alex was able to get me a refund within a reasonable amount of time (about six months, without court). I will use him again if I have to.

    "National Lemon Law Center provided me excellent service during the entire process."
    My initial hearing with the State Attorney General was dismissed, and I decided to give it one more try through an attorney.I initially contacted the firm in early February 2013. They responded in three days requesting for documents necessary to review the case. Once I sent them the documents, they responded within a week to let me know that they will take the case. by mid-March, they let me know that they are working with the car company. Yesterday (4/16/13), I went out to my local dealership for them to buyback my car. They paid for the remaining balance of my loan, and paid me the difference in check.Throughout the whole process, Mr. Simanovsky directly communicated with me through either by phone or e-mail to let me know what was going on, which I found to be very pleasantly surprising.This was the kind of service that you always hope for, but not normally expected to receive.
