If your car keeps going back to the shop in Los Angeles and the manufacturer can’t get it right, you may have a claim under California lemon law. Our main office is in Glendale, just minutes from downtown LA.
California lemon law applies in Los Angeles the same way it applies anywhere in the state. If you bought or leased a car with a serious problem the manufacturer can’t fix after enough chances, you may be entitled to a full refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement.
The defect must be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and must substantially affect how you drive the car, what it’s worth, or whether it’s safe. More problems qualify than people realize. Recurring engine, transmission, electrical, brake, and warning light issues can all meet the threshold.
If your car has been back to a Los Angeles-area dealership for the same problem multiple times and it still isn’t fixed, that’s the strongest indicator you may have a case.
LA consumer cases are filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Unlimited civil cases (which most lemon law claims are) are filed at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown LA, the central civil filing venue for the LA Superior Court system, the largest unified trial court in the United States. We file in the appropriate venue and follow up where it matters.
We represent consumers throughout LA County, including Beverly Hills, Burbank, Culver City, Glendale, Hollywood, Long Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, the South Bay, and the Westside. LA County has one of the highest vehicle registrations in the country, and we know the manufacturers’ counsel who handle defense in this market.
