How we match your O'Fallon lemon law case

When you submit a O'Fallon 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.

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.

Generally, a new vehicle with a substantial defect covered by the manufacturer's warranty that has not been fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts, or that has been out of service for an extended period. The defect must impair use, value, or safety. An attorney can assess whether your repair history qualifies.

Every repair order from the dealership, showing the date, complaint, days out of service, and work performed, plus your purchase or lease agreement and warranty booklet. Written notice to the manufacturer is typically required before suit. Keep copies of all correspondence and bring them to your first consultation.

Missouri's lemon law applies within a limited early window of ownership and mileage, and separate filing deadlines that vary also apply to warranty and consumer claims. Because these periods can run out quickly, have a Missouri attorney review your repair history and confirm your exact deadline right away.

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.
