Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Law Offices of Elizabeth Delevie Agmon has been one of California’s premier Lemon Law legal advocates for more than 10 years. As a highly experienced California lemon law attorney and former counsel for a major auto manufacturer, Ms. Agmon has extensive knowledge of both sides of the California Lemon Law. As a client-focused attorney, she has seen countless cases to successful conclusion for many consumers, both those owning or leasing high-end foreign cars and those with moderately priced domestic vehicles. Ms. Agmon works directly with consumers to dispute cases with both auto manufacturers and dealerships.

Other lawyers may ask you to pay a retainer fee or tell you that they work on a contingency fee. At the Law Offices of Elizabeth Delevie Agmon, the manufacturer pays your legal fees if your case is resolved. If it is not resolved you are not responsible for any legal fees. Our California Lemon Law attorneys are able to handle all vehicle brands, makes and models. No car, truck or SUV is immune to the possibility of poor craftsmanship or manufacturer error. Don’t assume that just because you paid more for a vehicle that you can’t get a lemon.

- Lemon Law

There are a number of Californians who are either unaware that California has a Lemon Law or who, for a variety of reasons, falsely believe that it does not provide them with any rights. California actually has a very consumer-friendly Lemon Law that protects both buyers and lessees of new and used vehicles. The law applies to private passenger cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, motor homes and registered motorcycles. In some cases, the Lemon Law also applies to business-owned vehicles (under 10,000 pounds) as well. Often, service writers, advisers or managers at car dealerships attempt to deter you from pursuing your Lemon Law rights. They may tell you that the Lemon Law does not apply to your vehicle without stating a valid reason. Or, they may provide you with a routine excuse, such as “Your car hasn’t been in the shop enough,” “Used cars don’t qualify,” or “Your vehicle’s mileage is too high/too low.” You may have even heard these same excuses if you’ve tried to contact the manufacturer directly.

* Lemon Law Qualifications

In order to qualify as a lemon eligible for monetary recovery or vehicle replacement under the California Lemon Law, the problems that your vehicle has experienced must be of a substantial nature. They must substantially impair the use, value OR safety of the vehicle. Contrary to what your dealership may tell you, the problems do not have to be safety related. Examples of substantial problems include those involving the brakes, engine, steering, electrical, suspension, air conditioning, windows, or transmission. Your vehicle may also be eligible for coverage under the Lemon Law if, all together, it has been in the shop for an excessive number of days (30 or more since you took possession of the vehicle); even if the repairs have been for separate problems. A vehicle that needs to constantly be repaired for various issues can often qualify as one that is substantially impaired under the Lemon Law.

* Problems Associated With Lemons

If you think you have a lemon, you’re not alone. Each year, auto manufacturers buy back an average of 100,000 lemons. The manufacturers and dealerships may hassle consumers during the repair process, but they are often ready to settle as soon as a lawyer is hired. The California Lemon Law provides for refund or replacement of vehicles with problems that substantially impair the use, value or safety of the vehicle, including, but not limited to: Brake issues; Engine stalling/not starting; Heating/cooling problems; Transmission issues; Other engine issues (vibrations, noises, overheating, etc.). Less serious, but still significant, problems can also qualify your vehicle as a lemon. These include a window that keeps breaking, a heated seat or mirror that doesn’t function properly, faulty fuses, dashboard lights that won’t go off, a stereo that won’t work or a short in the interior lighting system that cannot be fixed after multiple attempts.

* Recalls & Technical Service Bulletins

A safety recall is a manufacturer’s request for vehicle owners or lessees to bring a vehicle in for repairs, adjustments or replacement due to a known defect in the vehicle. A technical service bulletin is a recommended service repair issued by the manufacturer after an unexpected problem has occurred in several vehicles of the same make and model. Auto manufacturers will often release vehicle safety recalls or technical service bulletins for certain vehicles to prevent harm to consumers and to reduce their liability. If you are dealing with a car that is experiencing a single or recurring problem, you can look for recalls or technical service bulletins on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI). On this site, you can also file safety complaints about your vehicle.
