Why Do You Need a Lemon Law Attorney in Maine?
Maine’s Lemon Law (10 M.R.S. § 1161 to § 1169) covers new motor vehicles for 3 years from the date of delivery or the manufacturer’s express warranty term, whichever is greater — one of the longest coverage periods in the country. It provides for refund or replacement when the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after 3 attempts or the vehicle has been out of service for 15 cumulative business days. Maine operates a state-administered arbitration program through the Attorney General’s office. An experienced attorney pairs the Maine statute with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) to maximize leverage and shift attorney fees to the manufacturer.

How Much Do Maine Lemon Law Attorneys Cost?
Out of pocket — state law shifts your attorney fees to the wrongdoer. You keep your full recovery.
Maine’s Lemon Law (10 M.R.S. § 1169) 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 Maine lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.
