How we match your Perris lemon law case

When you submit a Perris 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 California law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in California 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 California lemon law cases the law can shift your attorney’s fees to the other side — you keep your recovery.

California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Civ. Code § 1794(d)) 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. California’s statute also allows up to a 2x civil penalty for willful violations. Almost every California lemon law attorney takes cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Generally the vehicle must have a substantial defect covered by warranty that the manufacturer's authorized dealers have failed to repair after a reasonable number of attempts, or that has kept the car out of service for an extended period. Whether your history meets that standard depends on the specifics. An attorney can review your repair orders and tell you.

Some manufacturers point owners toward an arbitration program, and the effect of that program on your rights depends on its terms and on the warranty documents. You are not required to accept an unfavorable outcome without advice. Have an attorney review the paperwork before you agree to anything.

California sets filing deadlines that vary depending on the warranty, when the defect appeared, and the legal theory used, and waiting too long can bar recovery entirely. Continuing to accept repairs does not pause every clock. Contact a California attorney so the deadline that applies to your vehicle is confirmed.

Under Song-Beverly (Civ. Code § 1793.22), a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 18 months or 18,000 miles, the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts — generally 4 attempts (or 2 for safety defects that could cause death/serious injury) — or the vehicle has been out of service for repairs for 30 or more cumulative days. The presumption is a floor, not a ceiling — California courts find vehicles to be lemons outside the presumption when warranted by the facts.

Yes — uniquely among major lemon laws. Song-Beverly covers used vehicles sold with an express written warranty, including manufacturer-certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles. This makes California one of the strongest states for used-car claims.
