How we match your Palm Bay lemon law case

When you submit a Palm Bay 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 Florida law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Florida 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.

Because Palm Bay is spread across miles of residential streets with limited transit, a new vehicle is essentially required here, whether for the commute up I-95 and US 1 to Melbourne or for daily errands along Malabar Road. When a new car keeps coming back to the dealer for the same defect, Florida's lemon law provides a route to a refund or replacement, usually starting with manufacturer notice and a state-run arbitration program before any suit in the Brevard County Circuit Court. Repair orders are the heart of the case. DearLegal matches you with a Florida-licensed attorney who handles lemon law cases in Palm Bay, with a free review.

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

Florida’s Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Fla. Stat. § 681.112) and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2)) are fee-shifting — the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s reasonable attorney fees on top of the recovery. Most Florida lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Generally, a new vehicle qualifies when a substantial defect that impairs its use, value, or safety is not fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts, or when the vehicle is out of service for repairs for an extended time early in ownership. The defect must be reported to the dealer or manufacturer. An attorney can compare your repair history to the statute's requirements.

Florida's lemon law process ordinarily involves notifying the manufacturer and going through a state-administered arbitration program before a court case. Many claims resolve at that stage with a refund or replacement. If arbitration does not produce a fair result, a suit can follow in the Brevard County Circuit Court, and an attorney can handle both stages.

Florida's lemon law applies only within a limited window tied to the vehicle's delivery date, and separate deadlines govern arbitration requests and any lawsuit. These periods vary depending on the claim and can pass quickly. Have a Florida attorney review your purchase date and repair orders promptly to confirm the exact deadlines that apply.

Under Fla. Stat. § 681.104, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 24 months of delivery, the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 3 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for repairs for 30 cumulative days (15 of which must occur during the “Lemon Law rights period”).

Florida’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Florida’s UCC implied warranty of merchantability (Fla. Stat. § 672.314) protect used buyers with a written warranty.
