  • The vehicle has been taken to the repair facility for two, or more, repair attempts.

Experienced and Proven Californian Lemon Law Lawyers

The lemon law lawyers of Cline APC help Californians obtain refunds for faulty car, motorcycle, boat, or RV purchases and repairs. We’ve carried out lemon law cases against every major auto, RV, and boating manufacturer. We are not afraid to go up against the giants.

The California lemon law applies to motorcycles, boats, RVs, trucks, and vans. Whether your defective vehicle is new or used, purchased or leased, we’re here for you. We’ll navigate the complexities of the lemon law and the California court system.

We’ve proven our success time and time again, and can do it for you, too.

Understanding California's Lemon Law

California’s lemon law was created by citizens for citizens. You can find it in California’s Civil Code as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, section 1790, et seq.

The California lemon law was designed to defend citizens against corporations that would take advantage of consumers. When your new or used vehicle is proven to be a lemon, the law requires manufacturers to repurchase or replace your vehicle if it cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of repair attempts. They must cover your attorney fees and court costs upon resolution.

That’s why we never charge any hidden fees or out-of-pocket costs. Other firms might, but our California lemon law firm doesn’t believe in reaching for your hard-earned dollars. We’ll let the manufacturer take care of the payments.

Protect your Lemon Law Rights

The auto industry is big business. It is represented by some of the largest law firms in California. These firms created a cottage industry out of helping manufactures avoid repurchasing defective new and used car lemons.It is essential your lemon law case is handled by trial attorneys who have a consistent and proven track record of success against the big auto companies. Our lemon law attorneys aggressively approach each lemon law matter with a singular goal in mind; to make the manufacturer take back your new or used car lemon and refund your money or issue a replacement vehicle.

Stand up against Big Manufactuers

Have you been sold a faulty vehicle? Don’t let the big auto industry walk all over your rights.
 

Our trial attorneys have a consistent, proven track record of going up against “unbeatable” manufacturers. We won’t quit until you have a new car parked in your driveway or have been issued a fair refund.

Cline APC and all its professionals that we dealt with in the duration of our experience were amazing. They provided us with a service full of good character and positivity from the very beginning up until the very end. They advised us through the snags, bumps, and setbacks during the process and the end results were indeed favorable. They were polite, kind, understanding, respectful, responsive, professional, communicative...everything you would hope to have in a service. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Best law firm to work with. Everyone was very professional, kind, caring and helpful. I had a Hyundai Elantra 2022 with engine broke down in the middle of Halloween night on the freeway. The car was in the dealership for almost 4 months to get repaired . Mr. Cline team helped me with my case. It took about 5 months and I received greater amount of settlement than I expect. Thank you for everything.
Diana R.

The smoothness and professionalism with which Eric, Diana and the extended Cline APC team handled my case truly exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciated Eric’s genuine enthusiasm, thoroughness and proactive phone calls. He really helped me to stay updated and answered all my questions along the way!

Thank you all for making this process so painless to go through. I’ve never had to litigate a lemon buy back before, but, I definitely know who to go to now if I should ever run into a similar challenge again going forward!

Cline did a great job handling our case. We were apprehensive at first, but they quickly gave us the confidence to move forward.
The process took time, but our patience paid off. I'm so glad we had a good attorney.

Having spent the past 3 years, trying to work the issues I was having with my vehicle, I reached out to the Cline law group for their advise and assistance. The Cline team quickly took a look at my case and got the ball rolling. They took their time to walk me through what to expect along with making sure they got every detail of my case correct. Their attention to detail was spot on along with their quick responses to my questions. At no point did I ever feel that I was over promised and under delivered. If you are looking for a creditable law group to take on your case, the Cline team is the professionals that you want on your side.

He was kindly and professionally answered all of my questions whiteout charging me. it was such a relief for me!
