A straight assessment of whether you have a claim — at no cost and with no obligation.
A lemon law consultation with our firm is free, carries no obligation, and ends with a direct answer about whether your vehicle appears to qualify. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
There is a structural reason lemon law works this way. Under California’s Song-Beverly Act, a manufacturer that loses is generally required to pay the consumer’s attorney fees. That means representation in a successful claim typically costs you nothing at all.
The more of this you have, the more precise the assessment. Missing items are not a barrier — we can usually help you obtain them.
That last figure matters more than people expect: the statutory mileage offset in a buyback is calculated from the mileage at the first repair attempt, not from today’s odometer.
It is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We ask what the vehicle is doing, how many times it has been in, and what the dealer has said. We look at whether the defect substantially impairs use, value or safety, and whether the repair history supports a claim.
You will leave the call knowing whether the vehicle appears to qualify, roughly what a claim might be worth, and what the realistic next step is. If we do not think you have a claim, we will say so — that is more useful to you than a maybe.
Two features of California law make this possible:
This differs from personal injury work, which is handled on contingency — see how much a personal injury lawyer costs for that comparison.
A consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship, does not commit you to anything, and does not obligate you to use our firm. Some people use the call to get a second opinion after being told by a manufacturer that they have no claim. That is a perfectly good reason to call.
Yes. There is no charge for the consultation and no obligation to proceed.
In a successful lemon law claim the manufacturer is generally responsible for the attorney fees under the Song-Beverly Act, so there is typically no fee charged to you. The fee arrangement is explained in writing before you commit to anything.
Bring what you have. Dealership service departments can usually print a full repair history, and we can help you request it.
Usually 15 to 30 minutes. Complicated repair histories take longer, and we would rather spend the time than rush the assessment.
No. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a signed written agreement. Submitting a form or having an initial consultation does not create one.
No cost, no obligation, and a straight answer about whether you have a claim.
