Lemon Law Attorney in La Palma, California 

If you've purchased or leased a car in La Palma and it’s been in the shop more than in your driveway, you may be entitled to relief under California’s Lemon Law. Whether you drive a new or used vehicle under warranty, you don’t have to keep living with a defective car. Ms. Michelle Choe helps drivers in La Palma hold manufacturers accountable and recover what they’re owed, with no attorney fees charged to the client. 

 

What Is the California Lemon Law? 

California’s Lemon Law protects consumers who have purchased or leased a vehicle with a manufacturer’s warranty that has ongoing, substantial defects. If the manufacturer or dealer can’t fix your car after a reasonable number of repair attempts, they may be required to either replace the vehicle or refund your money, along with any out-of-pocket expenses you incur. 

 

The law applies to: 

  • Cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks 
  • Vans and motorcycles 
  • Motorhome chassis and drivetrain 
  • Leased and financed vehicles 
  • New and used cars, as long as they are under warranty 

 

You do not need to have purchased the vehicle new to qualify. Many used cars sold by dealerships still fall under the manufacturer’s original or certified warranty and are, therefore, covered. 

 

Do You Have a Lemon Law Case? 

Your vehicle may qualify as a "lemon" if: 

  • It has a substantial defect that affects its safety, use, or value 
  • The issue occurred under the manufacturer’s warranty 
  • The manufacturer has been given multiple chances to fix the problem but failed 
  • The vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more days due to repairs 
  • You purchased or leased it from a dealership, not a private party 

 

Common defects include: 

  • Engine or transmission failure 
  • Brake problems 
  • Electrical system malfunctions 
  • Airbag or seatbelt failures 
  • Steering or suspension issues 
  • Repeated stalling, leaking, or warning lights 

 

Does your situation qualify? Ms. Choe can evaluate your case and explain your legal options at no cost to you. 

 

No Attorney Fees Ever Paid by the Client 

Under California law, if your car qualifies as a lemon, the manufacturer must pay your attorney fees and costs. That means you pay nothing out of pocket when Ms. Choe handles your case. You deserve legal representation without financial stress.

자세히 알아보기
  • How long do I have to file a lemon law lawsuit?

    Consumers must file a claim within one year after their express warranty expires and no later than six years from the vehicle’s original delivery date.


  • What if I bought my car from a state outside California? Does the California Lemon Law still apply?

    Unfortunately, in most cases, the California Lemon Law does not apply if you purchased your car in a state outside of California.  

  • What if my vehicle has multiple defects? Can I still file a Lemon Law claim?

    Yes, absolutely! Having multiple defects can strengthen your Lemon Law claim. The California Lemon Law doesn't require just one specific defect; it applies if your vehicle has a defect or a combination of defects that substantially impair its use, value, or safety.     

  • Do I get refunded for every payment I have previously made on a lemon?

    It's the amount you originally paid for the vehicle, including downpayment and monthly payment, minus the vehicle mileage before it had the issues.
