Preparing for your lemon law case.

Preparing for your lemon law case is easy. I am going to walk you through it.

Your lemon law case is based upon documentation. The first group below is required documentation, the second group is potentially applicable, depending upon the circumstances of your case.

The first group of documents consists of:

Purchase or Lease Agreement. This is the document you signed to acquire your car.
Current vehicle registration (or recent registration)
If financed or leased, evidence of who holds the title (loan/lease)
Repair Order Invoices. These are the documents the car dealership gives you when you go back to pick up your car after the warranty repair visit is completed.
Repair Orders. These are only needed if you are missing the repair order invoice for any visit(s) to the dealership.

The second group of documents consists of thing(s) that may, or may not apply to you. If they do, please include these in your document preparation:

Photos or videos (on CD or DVD) of current or past issues (demonstrating the defect/problem)
Written communications/correspondence with the auto manufacturer. (asking for buyback or help)
Documents from application for – or completion of Arbitration.
“Case number” if you made phone or written contact with the automobile manufacturer.
Letter of denial. (If they denied your demand for a buyback).
If you purchased your vehicle as a “CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED”, that comes with a used vehicle CPO warranty, include evidence of that.

If, by chance, you are missing any repair visit that you don’t have any documentation for, you can visit your dealership Service Advisor and request a “warranty repair history summary” printout. Be sure not to mention lemon law to the dealer, as this will almost certainly see your request not fulfilled.

Please put all of these documents together in a file. These are the documents your will need for me to evaluate your lemon law case.

When you have these all together, your preparation is now complete!

Please call my offices at 1-800-225-3666 if you have any questions, or need additional information.

Thank you!
