The manufacturer you’re up against matters. Every brand has its own defense team, its own settlement patterns, and its own playbook for handling lemon law claims. We know what each one typically offers, what they push back on, and what makes them write a fair settlement check.
Manufacturers don’t all behave the same way. Some are quick to settle when the case is well-documented. Others fight every step regardless of the merits. Some have specific defects they routinely deny and others they routinely concede.
A firm that handles cases against the same manufacturer over and over learns these patterns: who makes the call on settlement, what the typical offer ranges look like at each stage, what defenses their counsel will raise, and what evidence consistently produces the best results. We’ve filed cases against the brands below repeatedly, in many cases across two decades.
The following manufacturers and brands are among those we regularly handle lemon law cases against.
This is not an exhaustive list. If your manufacturer isn’t named, call us. California lemon law applies to vehicles sold under any manufacturer warranty, and we have likely handled cases against your manufacturer regardless. Get a free case review →
Some defects are common across brands. Others are brand-specific patterns that appear in lemon law cases more frequently than you’d expect.
Common across many brands, including several Ford and GM vehicles, certain Honda and Acura models, and various luxury European manufacturers.
Particularly common in newer vehicles. Tesla cases often involve software defects; Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi cases frequently involve infotainment and control-module problems.
Specific engine families have well-documented failure patterns that appear in lemon law cases repeatedly.
Less common but among the most serious. Brake defects often require fewer repair attempts to support a claim because of the safety stakes.
Persistent dashboard warning lights that return after service, even when the dealer claims the problem is fixed, are a common pattern across many brands.
If your vehicle shows any of these patterns and the dealer hasn’t fixed it after enough attempts, that’s the kind of case worth a consultation.
California lemon law cases are filed in California superior courts, specifically in the county where the consumer purchased or leased the vehicle, where the vehicle was repaired, or where the manufacturer has a presence sufficient for jurisdiction. For consumers throughout California, we file in the appropriate court and venue based on the facts of the case. See areas served →
Focused exclusively on automotive law. Lemon law, dealer fraud, and automotive class actions are all we do. Our focus is evident in our results.
20 years against manufacturers and dealers. They have strong legal teams, but we’ve been outmatching them for two decades, and they know it.
$400M+ recovered across 6,000+ cases. Manufacturers don’t pay fairly without a fight, and we know how to make them.
Manufacturer-specific knowledge. We’ve seen what each major brand typically offers at each stage. Knowing the patterns means we know when an offer is reasonable and when it’s well below what your case is worth.
A written, honest case assessment. Most firms tell you what you want to hear to get a signature. We tell you the truth before you sign a retainer.

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case is evaluated on its individual merits. Outcomes vary based on the manufacturer, defect, repair history, and case posture. Attorney fees in qualifying lemon law cases are paid separately by the manufacturer upon a successful outcome under the California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
