The Law Offices of William R McGee, California’s largest lemon law firm, where you will find an abundance of consumer friendly information, you can get your lemon law questions answered, have a toll-free number to call for personalized service, and find out all about our California Lemon Law and how it applies to your “lemon” vehicle.

In California, a “lemon” is a vehicle that has, in its simplest form, been subject to an unreasonable number of repair attempts for the same defect/symptom while under the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty (or certified pre-owned factory warranty). Certain parts of our lemon law also provide for vehicles that have spent too many days in the shop cumulatively during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of new vehicle ownership (or lease). Some vehicle’s can qualify for California lemon law protection simply by the sheer number of dealership repair visits during warranty.

The California lemon law is for consumers who purchased or leased their vehicles from car dealerships in California. The warranty repairs visits must be performed by authorized dealerships of the cars manufacturer in California – not by out-of-state dealers.

What does the consumer have to pay to hire our firm to represent them in their California lemon law case? In most cases – nothing. Our California lemon law statute has a provision for attorney’s fees and costs, making hiring our firm a practical reality without out-of-pocket fees or costs. Some cases are not “straight-forward” (read: difficult) and will require a contingency fee to be paid at the successful conclusion, with the vehicle owner assuming a small deduction from the refund proceeds upon a “win”. Upon review of your provided documents (and before ever deciding to hire us), you will be provided with a worksheet of the monetary damages we will be seeking on your behalf, as well as a Retainer Agreement that will spell out – clearly – if your case is will be done at no charge to you, or there will be a “contingency fee”. Remember, there are many cases that are “difficult” cases that may or may not be ‘won’, but nonetheless have merit and have to be pursued! Our firm does not just take the “easier” cases.

What if your vehicle is registered to your business? It still may qualify if the business has 5 or less vehicle’s (any type of motorized vehicle) registered to it. More than 5 disqualifies for California lemon law protection.
