California Lemon Law - How to Choose a California Lemon Law Attorney
The California Lemon Law also requires that the automobile manufacturer pay for the consumer’s hourly attorney’s fees and costs on a lemon law case. This makes the lemon law economically feasible for those who would otherwise not be in a position to hire an attorney.
NOTICE TO ALL CONSUMERS: As of 4/7/2022, the California Lemon Law now only covers vehicles purchased or leased and registered as “new”. It no longer covers vehicles purchased or leased “used” under factory warranty.
Many consumers purchase from the dealer what they believe to be an “extended warranty”. This is a misnomer in the state of California. With the exception of one German high-end manufacturer, every other “warranty” that is administered by the dealer (whether factory or secondary market) is a “Service Contract”, and NOT applicable to California Lemon Law. Dealers *call* these “extended warranties”, as do consumers, but they are NOT.
