Questions drivers ask

Straight answers.

What does it cost to hire you for a lemon law claim?

Nothing upfront. We don't charge hourly rates or retainers for lemon law cases. Because the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act includes a fee-shifting provision, the manufacturer generally becomes responsible for reasonable attorney's fees once you prevail.

What can I recover?

Depending on your case, California's Lemon Law may entitle you to a replacement vehicle, a refund, or compensation.

How many repair attempts do I need?

A reasonable number. Under the Song-Beverly Act's presumption, within 18 months or 18,000 miles that generally means four or more attempts at the same defect, more than 30 days out of service, or two or more attempts at a defect likely to cause death or serious bodily injury. Outside that window you may still have a claim. We review your repair orders for free.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes — and California's time limits recently changed. Read what AB 1755 means for your deadline, or ask us to check yours.
