Defective vehicle bought or leased in Los Angeles County? We pursue buybacks, replacements and refunds under California’s Song-Beverly Act.
Los Angeles County registers more vehicles than any other county in the United States, and its drivers buy from dealership corridors that stretch from the San Fernando Valley through Downtown to the South Bay. When one of those vehicles turns out to be defective, California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act may entitle the owner to a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement.
The Hashemi Law Firm represents Los Angeles County drivers in lemon law matters against manufacturers. We take these cases on terms that cost you nothing up front, and in a successful lemon law claim the manufacturer is generally responsible for your attorney’s fees rather than you.
Los Angeles County covers 88 cities and roughly 4,000 square miles, and vehicle purchases here span every price point and brand. Common threads we see in Los Angeles matters include:
Civil matters in the county are heard in the Los Angeles County Superior Court system, though most lemon law claims resolve without a trial.
Matters we take on include:
Buying used? See our guide to the used car lemon law in California, or estimate a claim with our lemon law buyback calculator.
Most claims follow the same path. We review your purchase or lease contract, your repair orders and your warranty. If the vehicle qualifies, we notify the manufacturer and pursue the remedy that fits your situation — a repurchase, a replacement, or a negotiated settlement that lets you keep the vehicle.
The amount recovered in a buyback is governed by a statutory formula. Our buyback calculator shows how it is computed, and our guide to California lemon law time limits explains how long you have to act.
You are entitled to pursue a claim yourself. Most people work with an attorney because California’s Song-Beverly Act generally requires the manufacturer to pay the prevailing consumer’s attorney fees, which means representation often costs the consumer nothing out of pocket.
Our offices are in Foothill Ranch and Costa Mesa in Orange County, and we represent clients throughout California including Los Angeles County. Most of a lemon law case is handled through documents and correspondence, so an in-person office visit is rarely necessary.
The case evaluation is free. In a successful lemon law claim the manufacturer is generally responsible for attorney’s fees under the Song-Beverly Act, so there is typically no fee charged to you.
California’s lemon law applies statewide. What matters is that the vehicle was bought or leased in California and came with a manufacturer’s warranty — not which county the dealership sits in.
It varies with the manufacturer and the facts. Some claims resolve in a few months; contested matters take longer. See our guide to how long a California lemon law case takes.
