Hiring a Lemon Law Attorney

There are several reasons why you should hire a Lemon Law attorney:

  • Often, during a lemon car hearing, it's you against a car manufacturer's representative. Unlike you, the representative is experienced in lemon car cases and knows how to use all of the legal loopholes and tactics in denying you of compensation. The representative will use your inexperience against you. Having a lawyer experienced in your state’s Lemon Laws representing you will counter this advantage.  
  • A Lemon Law lawyer has in-depth knowledge of the car industry. He understands that manufacturing defects and design flaws can and often result in a lemon.
  • A Lemon Law attorney understands your state's Lemon Laws. In Illinois, for example, in addition to the Lemon Law, there are also state and federal laws regarding new products and contracts. This understanding of all the existing laws almost guarantees you of some degree of compensation.
  • In most states your legal costs will be part of the compensation package if you win.
Before consulting a lemon car lawyer, make sure your vehicle meets your state's criteria for lemons. Some states cover both used cars and new cars, while others only protect new car buyers. Some states require four repair attempts by an auto repair mechanic, others only three.
 
For the Lemon Law requirements in your state contact your Attorney General. Most will post this information on the Attorney General's website.
