How we match your New Hampshire lemon law case

When you submit a New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in New Hampshire 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

New Hampshire’s Lemon Law (RSA 357-D) covers new motor vehicles for the term of the manufacturer’s express warranty, and 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 30 cumulative business days. New Hampshire uses state-administered arbitration through the New Hampshire Motor Vehicle Industry Board. New Hampshire also lacks a state sales tax, simplifying refund calculations. An experienced attorney pairs the New Hampshire statute with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301) and the NH Consumer Protection Act (RSA 358-A) — which authorizes treble damages for unfair practices.

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

New Hampshire’s Lemon Law (RSA 357-D), the NH Consumer Protection Act (RSA 358-A:10, with treble damages), 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 NH lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Under RSA 357-D, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within the warranty term, the manufacturer cannot repair a substantial defect after 3 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative business days.

New Hampshire’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the NH UCC implied warranty of merchantability protect used buyers with a written warranty.

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

The NHMVIB is a state board that administers Lemon Law arbitration. Decisions are binding on the manufacturer; consumers can pursue further remedies in court.

The consumer. RSA 357-D gives the consumer the right to select refund (less a reasonable use offset) or a comparable replacement.

RSA 357-D, the NH Consumer Protection Act (RSA 358-A:10), and 15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2) are all fee-shifting — the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s reasonable attorney fees and costs.

New Hampshire’s Lemon Law generally applies to vehicles registered in NH. Magnuson-Moss applies nationwide.
