How we match your Yonkers lemon law case

When you submit a Yonkers 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 York law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in New York 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 New York lemon law cases the law can shift your attorney’s fees to the other side — you keep your recovery.

New York’s Lemon Laws (GBL § 198-a(l)), the deceptive practices statute (GBL § 349(h)), 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. New York is one of the most consumer-friendly lemon law jurisdictions in the country. Most NY lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Often yes. New York requires dealers to give written warranties on used cars based on mileage, and if a covered defect is not fixed after reasonable attempts, you may be entitled to a refund. Private sales are not covered. An attorney reviews your paperwork and repair history to confirm.

New York offers a state-run arbitration program that is often faster than court, and manufacturers may have their own. You can usually choose arbitration or a lawsuit in Westchester County courts. An attorney can recommend the better path and, if you win, the manufacturer may pay your fees.

Every repair order from the dealer, showing the complaint, work performed, and dates in and out of service, plus your purchase contract and any correspondence with the manufacturer. If the dealer has not given you records, request them. An attorney can help obtain what is missing.

Under N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 198-a, a new vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 2 years or 18,000 miles, the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 4 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative calendar days. NY’s 30-day calendar-day count is harsher on manufacturers than business-day states.

The NY Used Car Lemon Law (GBL § 198-b) is among the strongest in the country. Dealers must provide written warranties on used cars based on mileage at sale (30, 60, or 90 days). If the dealer cannot repair a defect within 3 attempts or 15 days, the buyer can demand a refund. Uniquely strong used-car protection.
