Lemon Law Attorney
Helping California consumers resolve defective vehicle claims and warranty disputes.
Overview
If your new or certified pre-owned vehicle has repeated defects that the manufacturer or dealer cannot fix after a reasonable number of repair attempts, California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act — commonly known as the lemon law — may entitle you to a refund, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement. Lemon law claims are about holding automakers and dealerships accountable when they sell defective cars and fail to honor warranty obligations.
Prospect Law Group helps Glendale and Los Angeles County consumers navigate a process that manufacturers often make intentionally frustrating — requiring repeated shop visits, incomplete repair orders, and months of downtime while they deny responsibility. We review your repair history, warranty documents, and communications with the dealer to determine whether your vehicle qualifies and what remedies you may pursue.
Defects involving brakes, steering, electrical systems, transmission failures, and safety-related malfunctions can put your family at risk and destroy the value of a major purchase. Whether you drive a daily commuter or a luxury SUV, we fight for buybacks, replacements, reimbursement of down payments and finance charges, rental car costs, and civil penalty damages when manufacturers willfully violate the law.
Why Hire an Attorney
California's lemon law protects consumers when new and certain used vehicles have defects manufacturers cannot fix. Dealers and automakers have legal teams dedicated to denying claims - Prospect Law Group helps consumers pursue refunds, replacements, and cash settlements.
Manufacturers deny valid claims
Automakers often classify serious defects as normal or blame owners for misuse. We present repair histories and engineering evidence that meet lemon law standards.
Repair documentation is essential
California lemon law hinges on repair attempts and days out of service. We organize dealership records, work orders, and warranty communications into a compelling claim.
Notice and deadline requirements
Consumers must follow specific notice procedures to manufacturers. We ensure compliance so technical failures do not destroy a valid lemon claim.
Refunds, replacement, or cash buyout
Qualifying vehicles may entitle you to repurchase, replacement, or negotiated settlement. We pursue the remedy that best fits your situation and vehicle value.
Used and certified pre-owned coverage
Certified pre-owned and remaining warranty periods can bring used vehicles under lemon law protections. We evaluate whether your vehicle qualifies.
Common Injuries
Compensation We Fight For
Every case is unique. Depending on the facts of your claim, we may pursue compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and repair costs
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Punitive damages when warranted
