Learn about The Lemon Law Process and How We Can Help You

A manufacturer is required by both the Lemon Law and Federal Warranty Act to repair a defect in a motor vehicle within a reasonable amount of time or within a reasonable number of attempts. When the manufacturer does not repair the defect within a reasonable period of time, or reasonable repair attempts, usually three, the vehicle is deemed a lemon. If your vehicle is deemed a lemon, you are entitled to one of the following:

  • New Car
  • Full Refund
  • Cash Compensation for the diminished value

Below we will address the lemon law process for handling your claim by our lemon law firm and how we can assist you with obtaining lemon law help in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Hawaii.

1. Initial Client Lemon Law Intake Process

After discussing your claim and problems with your vehicle our lemon law firm will evaluate your claim and determine if the vehicle is less than 6 years old, and whether the defect occurred during the warranty period.

Upon determining that you have a viable claim, we will send you an initial client letter that details the process and how your case will proceed. During this process, we will also assist you in obtaining all of the necessary documentation so that the case can be further evaluated and pursued.

2. Pre Litigation Lemon Law Settlement

We will first submit your claim to the manufacturer through a lemon law notice letter. The manufacturer will review your claim and respond to our lemon law notice.

More than 500 Million Dollars in Lemon Law Settlements Recovered

In many cases, our firm can resolve the claim directly with the manufacturer in less than 30 days. Directly contacting the manufacturer, rather than filing suit, is a quick and efficient way to resolve the case and avoids the need for litigation.

3. Filing a Lemon Law Suit

If we can’t settle your case directly with the manufacturer, the next step will be to file a lemon lawsuit against the manufacturer. We will pay all costs associated with the law suit, including court costs and all expert costs.

34 Years of Lemon Law Trial Experience and Thousands Helped

The Lemon Law as well as the Federal Warranty Act are fee shifting statutes which permit the recovery of costs and attorney fees related to your lemon law claim against the manufacturer.

Therefore as part of your lemon law suit we will seek payment of our costs from the manufacturer, including our fees, as well as payment of compensation to you.

4. After a Suit is Filed

During the lawsuit, we will gather all the documentation that will prove your case. Additionally, we will reach out to the manufacturer to try and resolve or settle your case. Our experienced lemon law team will provide regular updates throughout the litigation process, as well as assistance with obtaining necessary documents, such as repair orders and expert reports.

5. Lemon Law Settlements

Nearly all of our cases are settled prior to a trial. Having resolved thousands of lemon law cases over the past 33 years, we have the lemon law experience necessary to resolve your case.

David and his assistant, Jackie, work well together to help you go through the lemon law process. Before getting in touch with them I was very stressed out and the car dealer was of NO help. Everytime I’d explain that a brand new car should not have so many problems they would brush me off. Once David & his team got involved I didn’t have to do much of anything except provide all my receipts related to the lemon car. They also kept in touch with me & updated me with the progress being made. After several months of them dealing with Corporate & me driving a loaner car, I met at the dealership & sold the car back to the car company. I walked away with a check in the amount of the one I paid for the car 9 months earlier. They are friendly, easy to talk with & most importantly do a great job!! Sincerely, Pamela M French

The lemon law process can be confusing and difficult to navigate. Thankfully, this was my first and only experience with it—and my experience with David J. Gorberg was a world apart from what I had gone through with my original law firm. After retaining another lawyer, I often felt confused, left without answers, and treated like a bother when I was simply asking for updates and a path forward. It took more than seven months to get a response, and my lawyer never once picked up the phone. The day before my lawyer finally relayed FCA’s offer, I called David Gorberg for a consultation. In two phone calls and about 30 minutes of conversation, David was more helpful and pleasant than my entire experience with the firm I had hired. He listened, took the time to explain things clearly, and was prepared to step in and take action. When I told him my lawyer had finally responded and shared the offer, David gave me thoughtful advice on how to proceed. He never asked me for anything—he simply took the time to help. If you’re dealing with a lemon law matter and need someone who will listen and explain your options, I highly recommend David J. Gorberg and his team. Thank you, David. When you feel cornered and unsure where to turn, professionals like you can make a world of difference. You and your team are amazing, and if I ever need help again, you’ll be my call.
