How we match your Troy lemon law case

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

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

Michigan’s New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act (MCL § 257.1406) 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 Michigan lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Exhibit F

Troy lemon law questions, answered

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

Generally a new vehicle still under warranty that has a substantial defect the manufacturer cannot fix after a reasonable number of repair attempts, or that has been out of service for an extended period. The defect must meaningfully affect use, value, or safety rather than be a minor annoyance.
Michigan's lemon law expects the manufacturer to get notice and an opportunity to repair, and skipping that step can undermine a claim. Keep copies of every repair order and any written notice you send, and have an attorney confirm what your situation requires.
Michigan sets deadlines that vary depending on the claim and the warranty involved, and waiting can also weaken the argument that the defect appeared early. Have a Michigan attorney review your repair history and confirm the exact deadline that applies.
Under MCL § 257.1403, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within the term of the manufacturer’s express warranty, the manufacturer cannot repair a defect after 4 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative days.
Michigan’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the Michigan UCC implied warranty of merchantability protect used buyers with a written warranty.
