How we match your Surprise lemon law case

When you submit a Surprise lemon law matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A lemon law matter needs someone who handles lemon law work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Arizona law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Arizona who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

In Arizona lemon law cases the law can shift your attorney’s fees to the other side — you keep your recovery.

Arizona’s Motor Vehicle Warranties Act (A.R.S. § 44-1265) and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2)) are fee-shifting statutes — the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s reasonable attorney fees on top of the recovery. Most Arizona lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Generally the vehicle must have a substantial defect that the manufacturer or dealer cannot fix after a reasonable number of repair attempts, or the vehicle must be out of service for an extended stretch. The problem also has to appear during an early window of ownership and mileage. An attorney can compare your repair history against the statute.

Save every repair order, including ones showing no problem found, along with dates you dropped the car off and picked it up, loaner paperwork, and written complaints to the dealer or manufacturer. Days out of service and repeat visits for the same symptom are what prove the claim. Keep your purchase or lease contract handy as well.

Arizona sets deadlines that vary, and lemon law claims also have their own early eligibility window tied to when you took delivery. Because both clocks can run out fast, this is not something to sit on. Have an Arizona attorney confirm the exact deadline for your vehicle.

Under A.R.S. § 44-1263, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 2 years or 24,000 miles, the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after 4 or more attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days. The defect must substantially impair the use or market value of the vehicle.

Yes — Arizona is unusual in offering protection for used-car buyers. A.R.S. § 44-1267 (sometimes called Arizona’s Used Car Lemon Law) requires used-car dealers to share repair costs for major component failures within 15 days or 500 miles of purchase. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act also covers any used vehicle sold with a written warranty.
