Lemon
law for cars in California.
There are many misconceptions on what
?qualifies? a car for protection under our state?s
lemon law. The lemon law for cars in California is
actually much more liberal than one would think - meaning
- the misconception is that there are a ?certain number
of repair attempts for one specific problem? or ?that
it?s only for cars sold new?, and more.
The
fact-is, that a lemon law case can come in many different varieties. One
may be a vehicle that has had just a lot of different
issues, or one that has seen an unreasonable number of
days collective in the shop - yet another can be a car
that has seen only 2 visits to the dealer, but it?s of a
nature that makes the car a ?death-trap? to drive. So,
it?s vitally important to know that the California lemon
law is not ?black-and-white?, but rather ? ?shades
of grey?. So, though a consumer may hear much about ?x
number of repairs for this or that problem?, it?s
actually much broader than that. All California lemon law
cases are, however, based upon the premise of
?substantial impairment to use, value or safety??.
This is established by warranty repair visits to the authorized dealer for the car.
Furthering
the idea of ?misconceptions?, many consumers may
perceive a ?repair visit? to mean that an actual
repair needed to be done. This is the not the case in
California. Whether repairs were instituted or not, a
warranty repair visit is viable and valid whether physical
repairs were done or not.
Consumers
need to know that to properly pursue a California lemon
law case for the best outcome, they need a lemon law
attorney. Not just as their legal counsel and advocate,
but as their negotiator.
Lemon law cases have many facets that require precise and
outcome-driven negotiating skills. Automobile
manufacturers are ever-diligent in protecting their
interests (money.). The key to negotiating with them is to
have the negotiations be non-adversarial, but at the same
time with them having full-knowledge that the opponent is
formidable - by experience and credentials.
My
law firm has been practicing California lemon law for cars
exclusively for 35 years. I have settled over 18,000 lemon
law cases - a number that speaks for itself. Each and
every one of those cases was negotiated
for maximum return to the client. In many cases the return
exceeded what the law allowed. It?s called betterment.
You
can hire any number of the dozens of lemon law firms that
are advertising on the internet. You will also be exposed
to a high number of attorneys who have worked on fewer
than a few hundred cases. Then there is a handful of lemon
law firm/attorneys that have worked on 1,000+ cases. Then
you will finally settle on my firm, which is the state?s
largest, having completed over 18,000 cases. Experience speaks for itself.
I
invite you to call my firm. I will assure you that your
call will be of the greatest importance to me, and to my
firm and its associates and advocates. We pride ourselves
in personalized service. There?s an unspoken comfort in
knowing you are working with the
best. You, as our potential future client, deserve
nothing less.
I
look forward to your call, and to hear about how my firm
may be able to resolve your dissatisfaction with your
?lemon? car.
