CALIFORNIA’S PREMIER
LEMON LAW LAWYERS

Cline APC provided me top notch representation for my lemon law case. They are true professionals, notably Brian and Shawnee. I was actually outside of the state of California for the entire time that this case was litigating and did not need to meet them physically, just several phone calls and lots of emails back and forth. If you own a potential lemon, definitely call Brian for your free consultation. By the time I called Brian, I was getting absolutely nowhere with the manufacturer: they never returned my calls and my car had been in the shop for over 6 weeks (with no estimated fix date in sight). I was extremely frustrated and did not have anything to lose at that point. The initial phone call with Brian gave me lots of clarification on my situation including the arbitration process and payment/expenses compensation. I decided to go with Cline APC at that point and it was the absolutely right choice. One thing to keep in mind: take detailed notes. The more detailed notes you keep, the easier you make it for everyone. So if you're reading this now and you haven't started - write everything down, keep all your email correspondence, make a detailed timeline of events, etc. Something else I'll mention is it took far longer than their initial estimate of 30-90 days to settle... the case took well over a year to settle and for me to receive my settlement check. Much of it was due to the pandemic but a lot of it was also due to back and forth delays between the courts and manufacturer.

Brian and Mark did a wonderful job in handling the return of my Chevrolet Volt. They were both professional and resolved the claim in a timely manner.Very happy with their work.Definitely a 5 star service!!

Brian Cline and the Cline APC team are the best! This was the fourth lemon law legal firm I spoke with about my case.
Lawyer One: I actually met him in the waiting room of the dealership and he introduced the notion of a lemon lawsuit, I had no idea. Ultimately he passed on the case, citing a complication with a recent ruling in regards to certified pre-owned vehicles, this was ultimately WRONG.
Lawyer Two: She didn't agree with Lawyer One about the CPO issue but didn't feel my case was strong enough, this too was ultimately WRONG.
Lawyer Three: Felt I had a strong case and sent the retainer agreement, wanted to charge excessive fees, I kept researching.
Lawyer Four: Cline APC was my fourth and last call, Brian was respectful, confident, answered all my questions, reasonable fee structure. His staff is on top of it and very polite. There were times I lost faith as to if we would prevail, Brian remained confident. It took six months but he was ultimately right. He got a settlement from the manufacturer for more than I expected and the vehicle was returned to them. I highly recommend Cline APC, they know their stuff!

I had a great experience with Brian Cline and his team. My Jaguar Ipace AC was broken for over a year and my car was in the shop for over 8 months. Jaguar was doing nothing for me. I called Brian and his team at Cline APC. Everything was handled quickly and they got me a very generous and unexpected payout from Jaguar as my car was a lemon. I did not pay a cent for legal fees, but they treated me like I was paying by the hour. Couldn't have been happier with everything.

Knowledgeable team from the top down...Highly recommend!

Brian and the associates at Cline APC, took my case and helped me get a settlement without paying them any money upfront. They were very professional and handled everything in a timely manner. Thank you so much to Brian and his staff, they did an awesome job!

Everyone was very professional, the process was well explained and I got the results I wanted. Returned the lemon car and got my money back.
Thank you Brian, Jeffrey, Marc and Shawnee.

Thank you to Cline APC for helping us with our defective vehicle. The firm was very professional, helpful and informative. Whenever we had a question or just wanted to see how the case was coming along, they were responsive every single time we reached out. Mark Johnson and Shawnee Cummings were the main two that we dealt with and they were awesome. Even after our case settled and we had some questions about purchasing another vehicle, Mark didn't even hesitate to take the time to look into a few of our choices and give us insight on them.
Thank you so much to all who were involved in getting our case settled, we greatly appreciate all the hard work you put into making this happen.
Sincerely,
Matt and Tobbi Baker

We would definitely recommend Brian K. Cline of Brian K. Cline of CLINE apc, Attorneys at Law. Mr. Cline along with his staff made the entire process painless and quick. They are a very professional and personable team, not to mention more than capable to get the job done. We were hoping that Mr. Cline could work as our mediator with GM, since after a year we had been able to make little progress. Mr. Cline was able to exceed our expectations by resolving our dispute with GM, in a quick professional manner. After working with Mr. Cline, we feel like he is the best “lemon law” attorney in California.

My experience with Mr. Brian Cline was simply amazing. Please follow along with me for just a moment. If you are wondering who can help you, I assure you… you have found the right person in Brian Cline.

I purchased a used car in 2015 and from the day that I brought it home, it had problems. I took my car back to the dealership time and time again. Finding the time to keep taking the car into the service department became such a hassle and trying to make the service department manager listen to me was an incredibly infuriating experience. After taking my car into the shop more than 5 times in less than a year… I knew that it was time to look for help.

I spent days and days looking over Lemon Law Attorney sites in the San Diego area. To be honest, all of them looked pretty good. They all had great reviews including Mr. Cline. But for some reason my gut kept directing me to Mr. Cline’s site over and over again. I felt nervous because I had no idea if I actually had a case and just thinking about acquiring help from an attorney seemed scary. Finally, my bravery kicked in and I sent a letter to his office detailing my experience with my car. Here is what happened next…

The very next day I received a kind response from his office stating that it sounded like I had a case. I was given a small list of items to gather and send to the office via email (repair orders, any email correspondence between myself and the dealership, copy of the warranty from time of purchase, sales contract, etc…)

Once those items were sent in, his very delightful assistant, Ms. Shawnee Cummings, set up a phone call between myself and Mr. Cline. I spoke with Mr. Cline on the phone and he was so patient and kind in explaining the steps and procedures. He answered every question that I had. He shared examples of possible outcomes and he also shared that sometimes this can be a lengthy process. After speaking with Mr. Cline-- I knew that I had chosen the right person to help me. I signed a contract stating that he would be representing me.

His office did all the dirty work. They sent me copies of everything that they were doing to help my case and THEN a short 8 months later it was all over with! He fought on my behalf and I was awarded a FULL BUY BACK! My car loan is completely paid off and I was given a check to repay me for all monthly payments plus other fees!

I wish I could say that this was all just about the car and the money. But for me…this is so much more than that. During this dark time of dealing with an unsafe vehicle, I knew that I couldn’t get my little girl to the hospital when she needed to get there. I have a 10 year old daughter with significant health complications and I, unfortunately, had a very scary moment of not being able to put her in the car and get her to the hospital. Thank heavens, everything worked out, but this just shows how important a reliable vehicle is. But now, I have a wonderful down payment to put towards a new, reliable and safe vehicle. This provides peace of mind and that is priceless.

I could never, ever express my gratitude enough to Mr. Cline and Ms. Cummings for their dedication to my case and for the care and fight that they put into getting the best results.

I can’t wait until COVID fades… meeting these two spectacular people and giving them the most heartfelt “thank you” in person is at the top of my list.

If you are reading this review because you need an attorney to help you, please don’t hesitate to call Brian Cline for help. Mr. Cline is simply the best and he will take good care of you as he did me - I can promise you this.
