How we match your Missouri lemon law case

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

Get started How DearLegal works

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.

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

Missouri’s New Motor Vehicle Warranty Act (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.560 to § 407.579) covers new motor vehicles for 1 year from delivery or the term of the manufacturer’s express warranty, whichever is shorter, and provides for refund or replacement when the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after 4 attempts or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative working days. Missouri’s Merchandising Practices Act (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.025) adds powerful consumer protection with treble-damage exposure for unfair practices. An experienced attorney pairs these statutes with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) to maximize leverage.

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

Missouri’s Lemon Law (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.571), the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (§ 407.025), and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2)) are all fee-shifting — the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s reasonable attorney fees on top of the recovery. Most Missouri lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.567, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 1 year or the warranty term, the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 4 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative working days.

Missouri’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Missouri UCC implied warranty of merchantability, and the Merchandising Practices Act protect used buyers.

Yes. Missouri’s definition of consumer includes lessees obligated to make payments.

Consumers must give the manufacturer written notice and a final opportunity to repair before suing. Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.567.

The consumer. Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.567 gives the consumer the right to select refund (less a reasonable use offset) or a comparable replacement.

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.571, Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.025 (MMPA), and 15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2) all shift attorney fees to the manufacturer.

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