You Deserve The Highest Possible Compensation And The Best Legal Representation Available
When your vehicle is a lemon, you don’t just deserve a refund or replacement—you deserve top-dollar compensation and the best lemon lawyers fighting for you.
If you decide to pursue a lemon law claim, here’s what you can get under California’s lemon law:
- Replacement vehicle or a full refund
- Down payment for the vehicle
- Monthly payments (due to the vehicle)
- Taxes and registration fees
- Incidental expenses, including the costs of towing and rental cars
- Reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses
Sure, automakers may shave a few bucks off your payout with a “usage fee” based on mileage—but that only applies until you’ve taken your vehicle in for repairs to fix what made it a lemon in the first place.
From that point forward, you have the upper hand—and we’ll ensure they pay what they owe you.
With our legal prowess, we can get you the highest compensation you deserve.

Unlike other lemon law firms, we don’t rush through cases and settle for the first offer, hoping for a quick cash grab. We’re in it for the long haul.
As such, our lemon law lawyers don’t dodge calls, pass you to legal assistants, and fold under pressure when automakers start throwing their weight around.

Understanding the Basics of California Lemon Law
When you purchase a vehicle with a warranty, you have certain rights—but how exactly does California’s lemon law work?
California’s Lemon Law protects consumer goods purchased or leased for personal, family, or household use. However, it excludes items like clothing and consumables such as food, cosmetics, and over-the-counter medications.
Under the law, if a manufacturer fails to repair a defective product after a reasonable number of attempts, they are required to either replace the product or refund the consumer’s money.
Specifically, California’s lemon law applies to vehicles with valid warranties. This includes a wide range of vehicles, such as:
- Cars
- SUVs
- Pickup trucks
- Motorcycles
- Vans
It also covers the chassis, chassis cab, and drivetrain of motorhomes. The law applies to leased, pre-owned, and financed vehicles, as long as they are under warranty. Both new and used vehicles are protected under California’s lemon law.
When purchasing a new car from a dealership, the last thing you want to think about is whether it might be a lemon. However, it’s important to keep track of your vehicle’s warranties.
As noted, a car must have a valid warranty to qualify for protection under California’s lemon law. If your new car starts having issues, take it to the dealer or an authorized repair shop while it’s still under warranty. Make sure to report all problems and verify that they are documented on your service order.
If the car turns out to be defective or has persistent issues, having it serviced by an authorized dealer prevents the manufacturer from claiming that improper repairs caused the problem.
Keep in mind, the dealer is not always on your side. If your new car’s issues continue to pile up and you’re getting excuses or blame, consult a lemon law attorney. They can help ensure your rights are protected and that you receive the resolution you deserve.
We’ll Help You Peel Back the Layers of a Complex Lemon Law Claims Process
Negotiating a lemon law claim on your own can feel like driving in the dark without headlights. You never know what legal curveballs the claims process will throw your way.
Auto manufacturers often work with lawyers who are skilled at minimizing payouts. These legal pros might trick or pressure you into accepting a lowball offer that doesn’t even come close to the compensation you deserve. Worse, you might even get nothing at all.
That’s why you’ll need VIP Lemon Lawyers on your side. We’ll put the squeeze on auto dealers that don’t pay attention to your case.
Our exceptional lemon law attorneys understand what it takes to build an ironclad case, presenting the right evidence and shutting down every excuse the carmaker makes.
We’ll hold the vehicle dealership or manufacturer accountable for every loss you suffered—whether it’s lost wages, repair costs, rental car fees, or other out-of-pocket expenses.
Did the defective vehicle leave you stranded on a family road trip? Were you unable to go to work due to an unexpected car failure? We’ll ensure to bring up these frustrating events during your claim.
But our work doesn’t end once we’ve built a strong case on your behalf. We know what the manufacturer owes you under California’s lemon law, including punitive damages (if any) of up to twice the buying price of your vehicle, and we’ll fight tooth and nail to get what you rightfully deserve.
Do you want to get the maximum compensation for your lemon? Don’t rely on the advice from the other side—they’re not working for you.
Let VIP Lemon Lawyers advocate for your interest. With us in your corner, you’ll have the legal expertise you need to secure the settlement you deserve.
Frequently Asked Lemon Law Questions
How much does it cost to hire a lemon law attorney near me?
The cost of hiring a lemon law attorney can vary from firm to firm.
At VIP Lemon Lawyers, we work on a contingency basis—meaning you don’t spend a cent on us unless we win your case.
Our legal assistance fee will be a percentage of the total compensation we recover for you, so there’s no upfront cost, and we only get paid when you do.
How long will it take for the lemon law claims process to conclude?
The timeframe depends on the complexity of the case and individual situations. Some of our cases were settled within two months, while others took longer.
That said, our process is straightforward: We start by reviewing all the details of your case, gather the necessary documentation, and then negotiate a demand for the compensation you deserve.
We handle legal tasks so you don’t have to worry about a thing—no matter how short or long the claims process may take.
Does my defective vehicle qualify under the lemon law?
If your vehicle matches any of these conditions and still faces warranty issues, it may qualify under the lemon law:
- New and used vehicles covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty
- Passenger cars, vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs
- Motorhomes, specifically the chassis cab, chassis, and drivetrain
- Dealer-owned or demo vehicles (used for test or display drives)
- Business-use vehicles, as long as your fleet has fewer than five vehicles and the gross weight is under 10,000 pounds
- Vehicles used for personal, family, or household purposes, purchased or leased for private use
What is the Lemon Law Presumption?
California’s Lemon Law Presumption sets clear guidelines for a “reasonable” number of repair attempts within 18,000 or 18 months after purchasing or leasing a new car—whichever comes first.
What are VIP Lemon Lawyers’ settlement terms regarding fees?
We work on a contingency basis, meaning our legal fee is a percentage of the settlement we win for you.
If we settle before going to court, our fee is typically lower. If litigation is necessary, the cost may be higher.
We can adjust these settlement terms based on the specifics of your case.
We understand that pursuing a lemon claim is a challenging journey, and we’re here to lift the load while fighting for the results you deserve.
What if my warranty has expired?
Most standard vehicle warranties outlast the 18-month, 18,000-mile threshold set by California’s lemon law.
So, if your car is out of warranty and you’re past that 18-month or 18,000-mile mark, you might think you’re no longer eligible for a lemon law claim.
That said, the Tanner Consumer Protection Act focuses on when your car was repaired.
If your car was still within the 18-month, 18,000-mile window when the repairs were first made, you could still have a claim—even if the issue didn’t show up again until after that period ended.
Timing is vital in lemon law claims, especially when legal implications get confusing. Always talk to a lemon lawyer to ensure you understand the relevant rules to your case.
Don’t assume your car isn’t covered—if you do, you might miss out on thousands of dollars you’re legally entitled to.
