Your initial case review is free. California Civil Code Β§1794(d) may allow a prevailing buyer to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. Any fee arrangement and possible client responsibility will be explained in a written agreement before representation begins.
New vehicles purchased or leased in California that are still covered by the manufacturer's express warranty. Each case depends on its specific facts.
Every case is different. The timeline depends on the manufacturer, the complexity of the defect, and whether litigation is required. We keep you informed at every stage.
Depending on the facts of your case, you may receive a refund of the purchase price (minus a usage deduction), or cash compensation. Incidental costs such as taxes and registration may also be reimbursed.
