If your vehicle keeps breaking down, the last thing you need is another financial burden. That’s why California’s lemon law requires the manufacturer to pay your attorney’s fees in a successful case. Lemon Law Help has helped thousands of Californians pursue buybacks, replacements, or cash settlements with zero out-of-pocket costs.
Do You Have To Pay Upfront for a Lemon Law Attorney?
A lemon law attorney costs less than you might think. There are no upfront costs for consumers pursuing a claim under California’s lemon law.
In fact, the manufacturer is responsible for paying your attorney’s fees if you win your case. That means you pay nothing for legal representation. This fee structure allows you to pursue a claim without financial risk.
How Lemon Law Attorneys Get Paid
Our lemon law attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only collect fees if we successfully recover compensation for you. Unlike other attorneys who charge retainers or bill by the hour, we’re paid directly by the automaker once your claim is resolved.
You keep 100 percent of your compensation in a lemon law case with our firm. Whether you receive a buyback, replacement, or settlement, our attorney’s fees do not come out of your recovery. Instead, the automaker pays all lemon law lawyer costs separately.
Why Hiring a Lemon Law Attorney Is Worth It
Trying to handle a lemon law claim on your own can cost you more in the long run. Automakers often resist paying full compensation—and without legal support, you may end up with less than you deserve. Hiring our experienced attorneys gives you clear advantages that can make a major difference in your case:
- Level the playing field: We stand up to powerful auto manufacturers and hold them accountable for selling or leasing you a defective vehicle.
- Stronger claims: Our lemon law team knows how to build and present evidence that forces manufacturers to take your case seriously.
- Higher potential compensation: We pursue every available remedy, including civil penalties that can increase your recovery by up to three times.
- Faster, fairer compensation: Our attorneys are prepared to push back against delays and low offers.
Because all of these benefits come at no cost to you under California’s lemon law, hiring an attorney is an easy decision.
What Costs Does the Manufacturer Cover in a Lemon Law Case?
When you succeed in a California lemon law claim, the manufacturer is required to pay your attorney’s fees. The manufacturer may also cover additional legal expenses, such as filing fees, court costs, and expert evaluations.
You keep your full recovery. Whether you receive a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement, all of it goes directly to you without deductions for legal costs.

What Happens if I Lose My Lemon Law Case?
Most firms only accept cases with solid legal grounds, such as repeated repair attempts or a vehicle out of service for extended periods. Because of this, the risk of losing is very low. In the unlikely event your case doesn’t succeed, we’ll cover the cost of pursuing it so you won’t owe any fees.
Does the Lawyer Take a Percentage of My Settlement?
No. The manufacturer pays your attorney’s fees separately in California lemon law cases. That means your recovery goes entirely to you, with zero deductions for legal costs.
Do I Get a Free Consultation?
Yes. Our firm provides a free consultation so you can learn about your options at no cost to you.
Choosing the Right Lemon Law Attorney in California
