How we match your Salt Lake City lemon law case

When you submit a Salt Lake City 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Jurisdiction and licensing

    Your matter is decided under Utah law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Utah who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

  4. 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.

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.

More about legal help in Salt Lake City

New trucks, SUVs, and all-wheel-drive vehicles bought for winter driving that keep returning to the dealer for the same problem are the usual basis for lemon law claims in Salt Lake City. Utah’s lemon law can require a manufacturer to replace or repurchase a vehicle that isn’t fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, though claims often start with the manufacturer’s dispute program. Unresolved claims go to Salt Lake County courts. DearLegal matches you with a Utah-licensed attorney who handles lemon law cases in Salt Lake City, and the review is free.

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

Utah’s New Motor Vehicle Warranties Act (Utah Code § 13-20-9), the Consumer Sales Practices Act (§ 13-11-19(5)), 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 Utah lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.

Exhibit F

Salt Lake City lemon law questions, answered

Still unsure? Tell us what happened and a Utah attorney will review it for free.

Utah’s law covers new vehicles with substantial defects that the manufacturer can’t fix after a reasonable number of attempts or that are out of service for an extended time within the first year. Used vehicles are generally not covered by the state law. An attorney can confirm eligibility quickly.
If the manufacturer has a qualifying dispute resolution program, Utah generally requires you to use it first. The outcome isn’t necessarily final. An attorney can guide you through that process and pursue a court claim in Salt Lake County if the result is unsatisfactory.
You may still have claims under federal warranty law or for breach of warranty, which can cover used vehicles and defects that fall outside the state law. Those claims may also allow attorney’s fees. A lemon law attorney will evaluate every available route.
Under Utah Code § 13-20-5, 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 days.
Utah’s Lemon Law applies only to new vehicles. Magnuson-Moss, the Utah UCC implied warranty, and the CSPA protect used buyers.
