Working With Margarian Law Firm

We focus on automotive consumer cases: California lemon law, auto dealer fraud, and class actions. If a vehicle keeps breaking, a dealer misled you, or you’ve received a class action notice, that’s our lane.

It depends on the type of case, and we tell you exactly how fees work before you sign anything. In lemon law cases, the manufacturer is generally required to pay your attorney fees on a successful claim, so you don’t pay out of pocket to pursue a valid case. Every matter is reviewed on its own facts first.

Yes. The case review is a real conversation with our team about your situation, by phone or in person, before any retainer is signed. There’s no charge and no obligation.

The honest answer is that it depends on the facts, and that’s exactly what the free review is for. Bring your paperwork, walk us through what happened, and we’ll give you a straight assessment of whether you have a claim worth pursuing.

No. We’re based in Glendale and represent consumers across California. See the areas we serve →

It varies with the manufacturer or dealer, the facts, and whether the case settles or goes to court. Anyone who promises a specific timeline up front is guessing. We give you an honest estimate based on your case, not a sales pitch.

Whatever you have: repair orders, your purchase or lease contract, registration, and any written communication with the dealer or manufacturer. The more documentation, the faster we can tell you where you stand. Missing a few records is fine, bring what you’ve got.

Most cases resolve before trial. The ones that go to court usually involve a manufacturer or dealer who refuses to do what the law requires. Either way, we prepare every case as if it could be tried, and that preparation is part of why cases settle.
