Get Help from a Lemon Law Attorney

The car you purchased looked nice. You popped the hood and revved the engine; it sounded good and smelled even better.

The steering, pedals and shift felt comfortable. The wheels looked fine. It ran smoothly. The interior and paint job was okay. Cash changed hands.

You were happy until a week after. It just broke down and it seemed unreasonable to pay for costly repairs.

You can curse the lemon and risk popping a vein in your brain, or you can consult an experienced ‘lemon lawyer.’

Lemon law attorneys don’t come in yellow suits and talk like The Mask, but what a nice thought.

These are attorneys who specialize in lemon laws. They’re neither sour nor defective, and just think about how they can help you out.

Under the lemon laws, dealers and manufacturers are obligated to take initial steps in fixing the problem, refund your money, or replace the automobile.

If the mediation process doesn’t lead to a resolution, you will need a car lemon law attorney to get what you deserve for the money you spent.

The usual vehicle lemon law violations are as follows: prior history of mechanical problems known to the seller; previously salvaged or wrecked; fraudulently rolled back odometer; rental car, police car, taxi, or similar; stolen, stripped and rebuilt; involved in a flood.

Experienced automobile lemon law attorneys are familiar with the lemon law of your state, the process for pushing a lemon law claim, and automakers’ fraud tactics.

If you’re worried about attorney’s fees, most state consumer protection statutes provide for the recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees from losing defendants when consumers win.

Lemon law attorneys say the United States Federal Trade Commission has still not found any manufacturer to have in place an ‘arbitration program’ that complies with federal minimum standards. The FTC has found existing programs to be unfair to consumers.

‘You have little to gain and much to lose by resorting to arbitration or to the manufacturer’s free dispute resolution program,’ says California Lemon Law Specialists.

Bringing the case to court can take a long time, depending on the court’s backlog of cases.

Many complainants who get frustrated with the long wait will just trade in their vehicles early, forfeiting their rights.

The best advice is to consult an experienced vehicle lemon law attorney before making decisions that may affect the outcome of a case or jeopardize your legal rights.
