How we match your Gresham lemon law case

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

Every repair order and service visit matters. DearLegal matches you with an Oregon-licensed attorney who handles lemon law cases in Gresham, with a free review.

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

Oregon’s Lemon Law (ORS § 646A.406), the Unlawful Trade Practices Act (ORS § 646.638, 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 Oregon lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Generally the vehicle must have a substantial defect that the manufacturer cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts, or must be out of service for an extended period, while still within the coverage window. Cosmetic issues or damage from abuse or an accident will not qualify. An attorney can assess your repair history against the statute.

Oregon's lemon law is aimed mainly at new vehicles, but a used car with remaining factory warranty coverage or a dishonest sale may support a warranty or consumer protection claim instead. It is worth having the purchase and repair paperwork reviewed even if the car is not new.

Oregon sets deadlines that vary based on the coverage period, delivery date, and mileage, and manufacturers often push claims into arbitration programs with their own timelines. Contact an Oregon attorney early so the exact deadline for your vehicle can be confirmed.

Under ORS § 646A.402, a vehicle is presumed a lemon if, within 2 years or 24,000 miles, the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 3 attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative business days.

Oregon’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. Magnuson-Moss, the Oregon UCC implied warranty (ORS § 72.3140), and the UTPA protect used buyers with a written warranty.
