How we match your Georgia lemon law case

When you submit a Georgia 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 Georgia law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Georgia 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.

Fee-shifting — if you win, the other side pays your attorney’s fees

Georgia’s Lemon Law (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-780 to § 10-1-792) covers new motor vehicles for 24 months or 24,000 miles and provides for refund or replacement when 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 requires consumers to use the manufacturer’s informal dispute resolution program if certified, and then state-administered arbitration through the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. An experienced attorney pairs the Georgia statute with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) to maximize leverage and shift attorney fees to the manufacturer.

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.

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.

Yes. O.C.G.A. § 10-1-782 defines consumer to include lessees obligated to make payments.

Georgia requires consumers to use the manufacturer’s certified informal dispute resolution program, and the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division administers state-level arbitration. Awards are binding on the manufacturer; consumers can pursue further remedies in court.

The consumer. O.C.G.A. § 10-1-784 gives the consumer the right to select refund (less a reasonable use offset) or a comparable replacement.

O.C.G.A. § 10-1-786 and 15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2) are both fee-shifting — the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s reasonable attorney fees and costs.

Georgia’s Lemon Law generally applies to vehicles registered in Georgia. Magnuson-Moss applies nationwide.
