How we match your Augusta lemon law case

When you submit a Augusta 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Jurisdiction and licensing

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

  4. 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.

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Keeping every repair order is essential, and disputes that go further are heard in Richmond County courts.

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

Georgia’s Lemon Law (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-786) 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 Georgia lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Exhibit F

Augusta lemon law questions, answered

Still unsure? Tell us what happened and a Georgia attorney will review it for free.

Georgia’s lemon law covers new vehicles purchased or leased in the state that have a serious defect the dealer cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts or a set amount of time out of service. Used cars have more limited protections. An attorney can quickly tell you whether your vehicle qualifies.
Keep every repair order, invoice, and written communication with the dealer and manufacturer, plus notes on dates and mileage for each visit. Those documents prove the number of repair attempts and days out of service, which is the heart of the claim. Your attorney will organize them.
Often yes. When a lemon law claim succeeds, the manufacturer is generally responsible for the consumer’s attorney fees, so many lawyers handle these cases without charging you directly. DearLegal’s review is free, and the attorney will explain the fee arrangement before you sign anything.
Under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-784, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 24 months or 24,000 miles, the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after 3 attempts (1 for serious safety defects), or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative days.
Georgia’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Georgia’s UCC implied warranty of merchantability protect used buyers with a written warranty.
