Purchasing a new or certified pre-owned vehicle should be an exciting experience. But when that shiny new car turns out to be defective, you may feel frustrated, betrayed, and helpless. California law allows you to pursue compensation, but the process can be complicated.
An experienced lemon law attorney can guide you through each step, improving your chances of securing fair compensation. At Lemon Law Help in California, we investigate your case and fight for your rights under state law. This support provides our clients with several key advantages.
Specialized Knowledge and Legal Guidance
California’s lemon law protects consumers against defective vehicles that have active manufacturer warranties. There are strict rules of eligibility, and the distinction can be nuanced.
An experienced California lemon law lawyer can help you understand your rights under this state’s legislation. Our team offers basic guidance to all consumers via our California lemon law guide, while providing personalized legal advice to active clients.
When you work with us, we help you navigate the legal process with confidence. We help you avoid costly mistakes and can represent you in a lawsuit if necessary.
Leveling the Playing Field Against Auto Manufacturers
Auto manufacturers have powerful legal teams on their side. These attorneys have extensive resources at their disposal, helping them to protect manufacturers’ interests and push back against lemon law claims. Vehicle owners put themselves at a significant disadvantage when they face these companies alone.
A California lemon law attorney understands the laws that protect you as a consumer. We fight against manufacturers’ legal teams when they push back unfairly against your claim, citing the California Civil Code legislation that holds them accountable. Our years of experience enable us to put pressure on the other side, achieving results that often exceed the norm.
Access to Legal Tools and Resources
To file a lemon law claim successfully, a vehicle owner must prove that they meet the requirements for compensation. Our lemon law attorneys work with you to gather and organize the necessary documentation, such as:
- Recall notices or service bulletins – proof of a known issue with your vehicle’s make or model
- Warranty documents – details of coverage, including any exclusions or limitations
- Repair invoices – work orders and service records showing you made the required “reasonable” repair attempts
- Communication records – emails, messages, or other correspondence with the dealer or manufacturer about the defect
As experienced attorneys, we understand the value of detailed evidence in building your case. We use our professional resources to source additional support, such as expert opinions, witness statements, and work orders. We also use discovery, an essential step in a civil lawsuit, to obtain documentation from the manufacturer or dealer. These documents may support your claim of a vehicle defect.
No Upfront Costs and Risk-Free Representation
A car is a significant purchase and can impact your finances for a while. When that car turns out to be defective, money becomes even more of a factor. The prospect of spending even more on a lawyer can seem prohibitive.
Our lemon law team provides risk-free legal services, so you can pursue the resolution you need without worrying about the cost. There are no upfront out-of-pocket costs and no fees unless we win your case. If that happens, you pay a percentage of what we collect.
We focus on maximizing your compensation to help you come out ahead. While other firms settle for less and leave you with less than the cost of your car, we push for a result that’s in your best interest.
Faster Case Resolution
Californians are heavily car-dependent, with approximately two in three state residents driving their own cars to work—to say nothing of buying groceries, picking kids up from school, and doing all of the other tasks that make daily life possible. Working with car owners every day, we understand the importance of getting your car back on the road.
We use our considerable knowledge of the legal process to move your claim forward as quickly as possible. We understand what paperwork we need to file, where to look for documentation, and what arguments we need to craft to counter a manufacturer’s objections. Our experience enables us to efficiently move your claim forward, avoiding administrative delays and manufacturers’ attempts to slow you down.
Our attorneys focus on efficiency, but not at the expense of your rights. We are not necessarily the “fastest” option because we refuse to compromise, and getting the best results can take time. This approach has helped us to secure up to three times as much as other strategies would likely yield.
Maximized Compensation or Vehicle Relief
An auto manufacturer’s goal is to protect its bottom line and reduce the cost of payouts. Our experienced California lemon law attorneys prioritize your interests, which means fighting for the best possible outcome.
If your claim is successful, the manufacturer must provide your choice of a replacement vehicle or a purchase price refund. Most firms will stop at this level of compensation, but we go a step further. We pursue multiple categories of compensation, including civil penalties that can double or even triple a client’s settlement.
If the other party refuses to pay what the law entitles you to receive, our attorneys will take your case to court. We go to trial more than other comparable lemon law firms combined and have taken several cases to the California Supreme Court.
Peace of Mind Throughout the Process
Fighting a powerful automobile manufacturer on your own is hugely intimidating. Having a lawyer on your side reduces your stress levels, builds your confidence, and puts the power back in your hands. We handle the legal process so you can focus on your daily life.
