Lemon Law Representation
Our lemon law attorneys help California consumers with defective vehicles obtain refunds, replacements, or settlements. We handle cases involving repeated repair attempts for substantial defects affecting vehicle safety, value, or usability. With over 36 years of experience, we negotiate with manufacturers and pursue litigation when necessary to protect consumer rights under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
RV Lemon Law
We represent RV owners facing persistent defects in motorhomes, campervans, and trailers. Our attorneys handle cases involving electrical failures, water system issues, and structural defects that impair vehicle functionality. With specialized knowledge of RV-specific lemon law applications, we help clients obtain compensation when manufacturers fail to repair substantial defects within reasonable attempts.
Breach of Warranty
Our firm pursues claims when manufacturers fail to honor warranty obligations for defective vehicles. We handle both express warranty breaches and implied warranty violations, including cases where repair attempts were inadequate or warranties were improperly voided. Our experience includes negotiating settlements and pursuing litigation to recover client losses from unfulfilled warranty promises.
Vehicle Recall Cases
We assist consumers dealing with unresolved vehicle recall issues that constitute lemon law violations. Our attorneys evaluate cases where recall repairs failed to fix defects or where manufacturers neglected safety concerns. We differentiate between standard recalls and lemon law claims, pursuing compensation when repeated repair attempts for recall-related defects substantially impair vehicle usability or safety.
Used Car Defects
Our attorneys advise clients on options for defective used vehicles, including cases involving remaining manufacturer warranties. While California lemon law no longer covers used cars against manufacturers, we explore alternative consumer protection claims under federal laws and vehicle history disclosure requirements to help clients resolve problematic purchases.
