MANAGING ATTORNEY & FOUNDER
Brian K. Cline has practiced law in California since 2006 and focuses on protecting consumers under California’s Lemon Law. He has helped numerous vehicle owners pursue compensation when manufacturers fail to repair defective vehicles.
Over the years, Brian has handled lemon law claims involving nearly every major manufacturer, including Ford; General Motors brands such as Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC; FCA brands including Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler; as well as Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infiniti, Kia, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Mazda, Yamaha, Honda, Acura, and Subaru.
Brian has also represented clients in lemon law matters involving recreational vehicles and motorhomes, including manufacturers such as Winnebago and Forest River.
If your vehicle has had repeated repair attempts for the same issue or has spent extended time at the dealership for repairs, it may qualify under California lemon law. A quick eligibility review can help determine whether your vehicle may meet the requirements.
A lemon is a vehicle with substantial defects that affect its safety, use, or value and cannot be properly repaired after multiple attempts. The issue must have started while the vehicle was still under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Depending on your situation, compensation may include a full refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement to compensate for the defects and repeated repair attempts.
Many lemon law cases resolve within a few months, although timelines vary depending on the manufacturer and the details of the claim.
Under California’s updated lemon law (AB 1755), claims generally must be filed within six years of the vehicle’s purchase date and within one year after the warranty expires.
If your vehicle has ongoing defects, the manufacturer may owe you a refund, replacement, or compensation. Our team will review your case and help you take action.
