From Anaheim and Santa Ana to Irvine, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach, Orange County drivers and businesses turn to The Hashemi Law Firm when a defective vehicle, an injury, or a legal dispute disrupts their lives. Our Foothill Ranch office puts experienced representation close to home.

If your new or leased vehicle has a defect the dealer cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act may entitle you to a refund, a replacement, or cash compensation, and the manufacturer typically pays your attorney's fees.

How California’s Lemon Law Works

California’s lemon law is the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, and its vehicle provisions are the Tanner Consumer Protection Act, codified at Civil Code section 1793.22. A vehicle may qualify when a warranty-covered defect substantially impairs its use, value, or safety and the manufacturer cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts — often three or four attempts, as few as two for serious safety defects, or 30 or more cumulative days out of service.

If a vehicle qualifies, the manufacturer generally must provide a buyback or a comparable replacement, plus incidental costs, and where its refusal was willful, a civil penalty of up to two times actual damages. Curious what a buyback might be worth? Use our lemon law buyback calculator.

Why Orange County Drivers Choose The Hashemi Law Firm

We are an Orange County firm, and we represent consumers — never manufacturers. Our clients come to us after repeated dealer visits that never fix the problem, and our reviews reflect real buyback results on vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Chevrolet, and other makes. Because the Song-Beverly Act requires the manufacturer to pay a prevailing consumer’s attorney fees, we handle qualifying claims at no upfront cost to you.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it cost anything to hire a lemon law attorney?

In most California lemon law cases the manufacturer pays your attorney's fees when your claim succeeds, so you generally pay nothing out of pocket. We start with a no fee case evaluation of your repair history.

Do you handle lemon law cases in Orange County?

Yes. Orange County civil matters are heard at the Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana, and the county's busy I-5, SR-55, and SR-91 corridors and large auto centers make vehicle and consumer disputes especially common here. Contact The Hashemi Law Firm for a no fee lemon law evaluation.

How many repair attempts do I need before my car qualifies?

The number of repair attempts required depends on the defect, and California law does not fix a single number for every case. A reasonable number is often three or four attempts, as few as two for serious safety defects, or 30 or more cumulative days out of service for repairs.

How long do I have to file a lemon law claim in Orange County?

Deadlines depend on your warranty and the 2025 AB 1755 procedures. Because limitations periods and notice rules apply, it is best to have your repair history reviewed early rather than waiting.

How much does an Orange County lemon law attorney cost?

In most cases nothing upfront. The Song-Beverly Act requires the manufacturer to pay a prevailing consumer’s attorney fees, so representation is generally at no out-of-pocket cost to you.

What is my Orange County lemon law claim worth?

The value of an Orange County lemon law claim depends on what you paid, the mileage when the defect was first reported, and whether a civil penalty applies. Our buyback calculator gives a rough estimate, and we can review your actual numbers at no cost.

Do you handle used and CPO vehicles in Orange County?

Yes. A used vehicle may qualify when it was sold Certified Pre-Owned or with a manufacturer warranty issued at the sale. See our used car lemon law guide for detail.
