If you think you own a lemon, these important defenses will help create a good Lemon Law case, making is easier to get your car repurchased.
Bring your car in early. At the first sign of a manufacturing problem get a repair order from an authorized dealer. If the manufacturer buys your car back, the lower the mileage of the first repair, the lower will be the use fee deduction, and the greater the amount you may get back.
Always get a copy of the work order when you leave the vehicle; and always get a copy of the actual completed repair order when picking up the vehicle. Be sure the work order accurately shows your complaints. If the problem recurs, even if only 5 minutes later, get a new and separate repair order. Do not let the dealer add on to the earlier one. If possible, have the technician write on the repair order that they verified your complaint.
Be consistent in your complaints. The California lemon law states that the manufacturer must be allowed a reasonable number of repair attempts to fix the same problem. So be sure that the way your complaint is written on the repair order shows that you are describing the same problem.
Check the technical service bulletins or TSBs. These are issued by manufacturers for common defects for your specific year and model. Usually the dealer will not tell you about TSBs, unless you ask. Even if they tell you none exist, make sure that your request is written on the repair order.
Watch out for bad advice. Dealer service personnel are not lawyers. They may give you bad advice about the California Lemon Law which may affect your decision about how to handle your problem. If you have a question call us. Don't be swayed by remarks that you are the cause of your car's problems, like you don't know how to use the brakes, or the NAV system, or it's because you live on a hill, or you are using bad gas. These are just excuses for a problem the dealer doesn't know how to fix.
Watch out for arbitration. Some manufacturers suggest that you have to go through arbitration before you can use the California Lemon Law. That is not true! In fact, it can be very dangerous. The ruling of an arbitrator has the same effect as if it were a decision made in a court of law. If the ruling is against you, it can make it considerably more difficult to later win your case.
The final step is to call our offices for a free consultation as soon as you think you have a lemon. In most cases the manufacturer will pay all or most of the attorney fees. Call us today at 888-EX-LEMON or 888-395-3666 or complete the short submittal form at the top of this page.
Life is too short to live with a lemon, especially if we may get rid of it for you and get you your money back. We look forward to hearing from you.
Do not look anywhere else, they had my nightmare of vehicle bought back in no time! They also assisted my mother with her lemon.
Barry and his office took care of our Lemon Law case with Subaru. They handled it professionally and responded to our calls and requests with great patience and promptly. I'll use their office again if I need to, and I cannot recommend them enough.
I purchased a used vehicle for my son and after the sale, learned that the vehicle was under a serious recall and shouldn't be driven. The dealership refused to take it back. I contacted several lemon law and dealership fraud attorneys, only to be turned away. The case was difficult and was told they couldn't help. I then contacted Barry Edzant in Valencia who took my case. Within two or three months, Barry had gotten me all of my money back on the car, plus some, and it was out of my life. Barry was professional, competent, and efficient. I'm happy to recommend him to my clients as well as my colleagues.
Barry is a true professional. When it comes to personal injury and lemon law cases, he is a master. He has a ton of experience in his field. If you are looking for someone who advocate for you and get what is fair he is definitely your guy.
Barry and his staff did a fantastic job with my case. I highly recommend Barry to handle your case, I would not hesitate to use his firm again if needed. Barry and his staff are true professionals that take the time to walk you through all aspects of the case from start to finish.
I would recommend Barry and his team to all my friends and family. Him and his team did an amazing job and he is truly a professional at what he does. He takes his time to listen to you and to answer any questions you may have. He gets back to you within a reasonable time when contacting him.
I called a few Lawyers about my Lemon. Barry was the only lawyer to actually take my call personally and spend the time with me to make sure I understood everything. I am so grateful for him and for Clare. They worked so hard and fast to get me everything I wanted! They were never impatient with me (and I called a lot!). Thank you both so much!
Called him in need ... he went above and beyond in listening to me and providing me with clear information... I'm grateful I called him and will most definitely use him services with my case and will refer others I know to him. I wish all lawyers were as helpful as him.
There is nobody better than Barry for a lemon law case. Our van kept on stalling, and the dealer couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. I turned to Barry to see if there was anything that could be done, and he got us a fantastic result. He was open and honest about everything that we could expect, he always returned phone calls and emails, and he made the whole process very easy for us. I would happily recommend Barry to anyone who thinks they might have a lemon.
