As an attorney, I was very selective when choosing representation for my own lemon law case, and I'm extremely glad I chose this firm. Jacob was responsive, easy to work with, and clearly on top of every detail.

Working with Jacob was a huge relief. After calling several other firms about my Lemon Law case, I kept getting routed to call centers overseas. When I contacted Jacob, the experience was completely different.

Jacob spent hours on the phone with me, patiently walking me through the entire Lemon Law process, explaining my options, and guiding me step by step.

Even though they weren't able to help my dad at the moment, they advised me with great information and explained everything I needed to know. They listen, unlike many other practices out there. These guys care. I would definitely recommend them.

California Lemon Law Attorney: How We Help

America's Lemon Lawyer is a California lemon law firm based in Los Angeles, part of Wynn Law Group. We represent drivers whose new, leased, certified pre-owned, demo or dealer vehicle keeps going back to the dealer for the same problem. Our California lemon law attorneys handle the claim against the manufacturer from the first call to the buyback, replacement or cash settlement.

What is the California lemon law?

California's lemon law is the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Civil Code sections 1790 to 1795.8). If a manufacturer or its dealers cannot fix a warranty defect after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer must repurchase or replace the vehicle (Civil Code 1793.2(d)). It covers cars, trucks, SUVs and electric vehicles bought or leased in California.

Does my car qualify?

A vehicle is presumed to be a lemon if, within 18 months or 18,000 miles of delivery (Civil Code 1793.22):

  • the same problem was repaired 4 or more times;
  • a defect that could cause death or serious injury was repaired 2 or more times; or
  • the vehicle was out of service for repairs for more than 30 days in total.

The presumption is not the only way to qualify. Many vehicles outside 18 months or 18,000 miles still qualify while they are under the manufacturer's warranty. Recall repairs and repeated software updates can count as repair attempts. Ordinary used cars sold by private parties or without a new-car warranty generally no longer qualify after the 2024 California Supreme Court decision in Rodriguez v. FCA US; certified pre-owned, demo and dealer vehicles still can.

What can I get?

  • Buyback (repurchase): your down payment, monthly payments, taxes and fees, minus a mileage offset, and your loan or lease paid off.
  • Replacement: a comparable new vehicle from the manufacturer.
  • Cash and keep: a cash settlement while you keep the car.
  • Civil penalty: up to two times your damages if the manufacturer willfully failed to comply (Civil Code 1794(c)).

How much does a lemon law attorney cost?

You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements (Civil Code 1794(d)). If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.

How a California lemon law claim works

  • Free case review: send us your repair orders and purchase or lease contract.
  • Demand: we present your claim to the manufacturer.
  • Negotiation: most cases resolve without a trial. If the manufacturer will not resolve it fairly, we file in court.
  • Resolution: buyback, replacement or cash settlement.

Since 2025, AB 1755 added new pre-filing steps and shorter deadlines for many claims, so it pays to talk to a lemon law attorney early. Waiting can also cost you: the mileage offset is measured from your first repair visit for the problem, so take the car in as soon as the problem shows up.
