How to Find an Experienced San Diego Lemon Law Attorney
If you have had your car in the shop repeatedly for the same issue, then you might you have a lemon on your hands. You are protected under California’s lemon law, and while you can assert your rights under that law yourself, it’s usually in your best interest to hire an experienced lemon law attorney to file a claim.
Your odds of reaching a settlement agreement or the court ruling in your favor increase when you have a qualified lemon law lawyer in your corner. Many qualified lawyers serve the San Diego area, but if you conduct a little research ahead of time, you can narrow your choices. Here are some tips for finding the most experienced San Diego lemon law attorney.
Ask for Referrals
The most experienced lemon law attorneys have successfully represented many clients and often get referrals. Reach out to those close to you and find out if they know of a good lemon law attorney; this includes family, friends, and colleagues. If you have an established relationship with a tax attorney, real estate attorney, divorce attorney, or attorney with a specialty dealing with personal property or litigation, then you can also ask them to refer you to a reputable colleague who handles lemon law claims. When those close to you or the peers of a lemon law attorney refer you, it’s a strong indication your potential lawyer is qualified, competent, and has a strong reputation.

Schedule an Initial Consultation
Most firms that specialize in lemon law claims offer a free consultation to prospective clients to determine their eligibility for filing a claim. After doing your homework and narrowing your list of experienced San Diego lemon law attorneys, schedule a consultation with your number one pick. This initial meeting serves as an opportunity for you to ask questions of your potential lawyer to make sure he or she is a good fit.
If you spent time researching the firm and attorney, you already have ample background information. Use this consultation to ask about things you don’t already know, such as the lawyer’s approach to client service, their legal experience, and details related to your lemon law claim. Here are some example questions for your first meeting:
Read About Accolades and Awards
The legal community has a reputation for handing out awards to its own, but these aren’t empty gestures. Accolades signal to clients and other lawyers that a particular firm or attorney has a strong reputation and valuable experience to serve clients. Although national awards exist, look for awards from the California Lawyers Association and other regional and local awards. Some state awards include:
Research Peer Reviews
The legal community’s consensus regarding an attorney speaks volumes about experience and reputation. Colleagues are unlikely to review favorably someone they know to be inexperienced and ineffective, especially because most peer reviews are blind. You can revisit Avvo.com to see peer endorsements, but other sources also offer peer reviews. The following are three respected sources of peer reviews:
How We Can Help You
As a San Diego consumer, you have certain rights if you purchase a vehicle that is not functioning properly. The manufacturer is obligated to correct the problem so you can get back on the road. They expect you to make the monthly payments, so fixing a problem that is their fault shouldn’t be that big of a deal, right?
Unfortunately, too many people have to go through the lengthy process of trying to get their vehicle fixed correctly or receiving adequate compensation.
Lemon Law Associates of California represents consumers who have lemon law claims for new as well as certain used vehicles purchased or leased in California. Specifically, under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California’s lemon law), a vehicle is defined as having a gross weight of less than 10,000 pounds, or the chassis, chassis cab, and that portion of the motor home devoted to its propulsion. Motorcycles also qualify if they are registered as street legal.
Instead of trying to do it yourself, let our San Diego lemon lawyers work for you. We have extensive experience dealing with auto manufacturers and are known throughout the industry as relentless advocates for our clients. We can help make sure that you are treated fairly and that your claim is handled quickly and professionally.
We also represent clients who have other consumer goods that qualify as lemons. These goods include trailers (fifth wheel or hitch) and motorized boats.
Inquire About Courtroom Experience
It’s highly unlikely you will have to go to court in a lemon law case. Most claims are settled beforehand. Yet, when litigation is necessary, you want a skilled and aggressive litigator in your corner, who will obtain the best possible outcome for your lemon law claim. You need to verify your attorney has courtroom experience and the skills necessary to argue your case. You should ask about wins, but it’s more important to ask about cases in which the attorney lost. You should find out why the court didn’t rule in the plaintiff’s favor and what your potential attorney learned from that experience.
The Lemon Law Applies Only to In-State Purchases
California lemon law only applies if your vehicle was purchased or leased in California.
If you purchased or leased a vehicle or consumer good outside of the state, contact a law firm licensed to practice in that state where the vehicle or consumer good was purchased. In San Diego, we have helped consumers with their lemon law claims. We have worked with all of the major auto manufacturers and are very well known for our tenacious representation of our clients.
