Finding an Attorney is a frustrating process. It took me four long months of intense interviews only to be turned away, but somehow I was able to talk to the right people who referred me to the right team. And that is, Cline APC. I did a lot of prep work on my own with evidence which made the process go faster. But I couldn't have been more pleased when I found out the level of experience Brian Cline had... but most importantly his knowledge and connections with such cases like mine. I received updates on my case; and whenever I inquired they got back with me immediately. Moreover, Cline APC. delivery exactly what they anticipated too. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the whole process.

I was a little bit hesitant and nervous when I was looking for a Law Firm to represent my Lemon Law case, but after talking to Brian Cline on the phone and him explaining the whole process in detail I felt very comfortable in hiring the Cline Law Firm to represent my case. Everybody was super helpful and the whole process was super easy and we won the case!! Highly recommendable!!

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.

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

Smooth and efficient Process. Highly recommend.

Attorney Cline is very professional and responsive. Never once did I doubt I was in the best possible hands. I'd recommend Attorney Cline for any lemon law legal matter.

Laura R.

Brian and his team have been nothing but amazing. During this whole process (1 year and 2 months delays during the pandemic) Brian and his team were in constant communication and very responsive whenever I had questions. The very best!

At a time when no one in the Bay Area wanted to hear me out about my case I was so distraught and I was racking my brain about what to do about my car when I saw that Brian was in San Diego I got a little discouraged but I took a chance! Brian kept his word on everything, his staff was always polite and responsive, and there was always someone there to answer whenever I called. Thanks B and Shawnee!

I bought a Land Rover July 2019. A month and a half later, while driving on Interstate 5, the dashboard lit up with a Christmas display of warnings. The problem continued to repeat, even after sending the SUV to the dealer five times. Land Rover USA promised a "buy back". I waited their timeline for the paperwork to no avail. A month later and still no word, Cline APC took my case. They filed legal paperwork within a few days and started working on my case immediately. Shawnee Cummings kept me updated each step of the way and is the best representative of that firm. She makes you feel like they are actually working on your case. Mark Johnson is the lawyer you want on your case. It took a year and a half for the case to settle, yet in the end I am happy. I received all my funds back & won damages on top of the reimbursement. I would recommend this firm. Thank You Brian and team.

Yolanda K.

I want to say, Thank You so very much Mr. Brian Cline and your awesome team for your professional assistance dealing with the Lemon Law proceedings on my 2015 Corvette. You turned a very upsetting experience into a positive outcome.Shawnee, (One of Mr. Cline's team member) supported me, guided me and kept me up to date throughout the whole process.I was extremely pleased with the final outcome and want to express my sincere appreciation. THANK YOU

Brian took my case and in no time had made the necessary arrangements to get me my money. Camille kept me informed at all times and returned calls promptly. They were always available to answer questions in a courteous and professional manner. I highly recommend this firm. Thank you so much for all your work, I am truly grateful.

Amazing lawyers who really care and know how to get the job done. A cut above the rest. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

AMAZING experience working with Brian Cline! Brian is knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to fight for you and your rights! I am fortunate to have found him to assist me in the buy back of my vehicle. It happened faster than I had expected and I was awarded more than I imagined! If you want an ethical, professional and pleasant attorney to represent you in your case, Brian is your person!

Brian Cline is excellent!I received an notice of the Class action which including my car last August . Since this is the first time I met this problem, I just google it online what is class action and what happens with my car. I was so lucky to find this lemon law legal Group and contact them. After some simple question, Brian told me I'm qualify with the lemon law and I can go ahead to work with him have my car been repurchased by the manufacturer. As I said, it is the first time I met this, I couldn't believe this at first. Brain was so nice, and explain with my in detail about what is the lemon law, what is advantage, what could be the risk for both of us, and what will be the process of my lawsuit later, which make me feel comfortable and trust him.the following steps is as usual, He and his team help me win the case, get my money back. Every step is smoothly, and I got my money back now. Thanks Brain and his assistant Camille who is always willing to help and answer any questions very quickly.If you have any lemon law problem I'll recommend Brain Cline and the lemon Law legal Group.

Brian Cline and his firm is the most professional group of people I've ever dealt with. Handled my case in a timely matter it was completed in three months they respond to you quick. Sufficient information when needed I would recommend Brian Cline and his Law Firm to anybody that needs to have their case completed in a the Swift Manor with quality results.

Unfortunately, I had a 2013 Nissan Altima that was a Lemon and I went through a couple consultations with other lawyers before I came across Cline APC, Attorneys at Law. I am so glad that I chose this firm to represent me. They were professional and efficient and friendly. If you are moving forward with a Lemon Law case be patient it takes a while to complete however it is worth it. I worked with Brian and John. Both were great, during the latter of the case I worked with John who was fantastic with communicating the step by step processes and procedures and what I needed to do on my end. I am a very busy person, so they were great with emailing all information and forms so I can respond when I had a chance. I didn’t have to go down to any offices everything was completed virtually. The only physical thing I needed to do was go to my dealership to meet with a Transfer agent who was nice, quick and efficient. I was in and out within 10 minutes. After your car is turned in it takes a couple weeks to receive the settlement so save for transportation between turning in your lemon and waiting for settlement. I did a lot of thinking and hesitation when I had problems with my car, I even contemplated just trading it for something else, but I am so glad I decided to act and trust Brian Cline with my case and get the settlement I deserved for a malfunctioning non-trustworthy car. When I turned the car in, I had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Thanks again Brain and John! I will defiantly keep your information close and recommend to anyone having Lemon issues.

My first new car was sadly defective. I previously had a different lemon law lawyer but ended up looking else where (they were terrible at communication) while browsing though the many law firms on yelp i found this firm and im so glad i did. I cant say enough good things about working with them. My main contact at the firm was Jeffrey Moses he was super informative and very responsive he helped me settle my lemon law case and now the car company is buying their defective car back!... I hope im never in this situation again but if i am this is the firm id be working with to settle it. Thanks again for your amazing work Jeffrey! :)

We worked with Brian Cline to get our case on our vehicle settled. He was great with communication and letting us know our options and advice. He got us well over what we originally thought we could receive. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone with a lemon law case! Thank you Brian!

Wendy F.

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.

Shastina S.

Brian is awesome! Great service, great communication, and over delivers. We would recommend him to anyone and we would use his services again if needed. :)

Late review. First thank you guys for your help. Originally when I started looking for help nobody wanted to help, but Brain gave me a chance. It took sometime, but it is definitely worth it.

Johanna D.

I was terrified to take legal action with my car situation. But luckily, I was referred to Brian Cline by my friend James Roe which is also an attorney. From the beginning to the end everyone was so helpful. I didn’t have to worry about too much. They made this stressful experience kind of easy to be honest. The car was bought back completely plus a little extra. My case was assigned to Eric Natenstedt. It was a pleasure working with him. He kept me in the loop with my case. Everyone was great and professional. Don’t hesitate and have them represent you! You won’t regret it!Thank you Camille, Brian and Eric for all your help! It was a pleasure working with all of you!

Brian and his team were excellent throughout my lemon law process. It took a little longer than I initially thought it would( 7 months) but mainly because Hyundai were stalling the case and playing hardball even though my case was a homerun. John was my point of contact for the last few months and he really was prompt, kind and professional. Camille and Nia were similarly very helpful early in my case. I would highly recommend using this law firm if you feel you have a lemon law case. Thank you Cline APC.

My brand new Dodge Challenger that I bought from the dealership came defective from the factory and ended up with water damage, which fried the whole electrical system in the car. Chrysler took their sweet time and took 70 days to fix the car. When I requested for them to buy the car back and reimburse me for mold on personal items caused from water damage, they refused. When I called the law firm of Brian Cline, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to speak directly to him about my case. As soon as Mr. Cline got involved in my case, Chrysler agreed to buy back my vehicle, pay off my loan in full, reimburse me for damage to personal items, reimburse me for car rental fees, and paid me back every penny that I had paid for the car and then some. And the best part is, I did not have to pay out of pocket, as Chrysler paid all the fees for Mr. Cline's services. Mr. Cline and his staff were very professional and accessible from start to finish. I was very satisfied with the end result and would highly advise Mr. Cline and his legal team to anyone looking for a lemon law lawyer. Speaking from my personal experience I can tell you that these big corporations are looking to screw you every step of the way, so please don't go at it alone!

I am an attorney that practices here in the San Diego area. I was first introduced to Brian Cline when one of my clients needed help with a Lemon Law issue. I researched thoroughly which Lemon Law attorney I would refer my client to because I knew my own reputation was on the line based on who I chose. I ended up choosing Brian Cline to refer my client to and Brian got them a great settlement. I have now referred at least 3 of my clients that needed help with a Lemon Law situations to Brian Cline and I will continue to choose Brian.

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.

When i had consistent problems with my vehicle, and couldn't get results from the auto manufacturer. I called lemon law attorney Brian Cline. Brian is intelligent, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Brian has great communication skills he made me feel at ease when he explained the process of my lawsuit, and always took the time to answer any questions when I called even if he was busy. It was because of Brian's expertise and knowledge that I not only won my lawsuit against the auto manufacture, but I got more than I asked for. I would also like to thank Camille,( Brian's assistant) she was equally as helpful, and always made me feel my issues were a priority.Brian Cline of the law offices of Pecora & Cline gets a 5 star rating! If you ever need a lemon law lawyer look no further than Brian Cline The law offices of Pecora & Cline.Thank You,William Wallace

Chris & L.

They were very professional and courteous throughout the process. In the end, we got a full refund from the manufacturer. Thank you Brian and Shawnee.

Andrew M.

Brian Cline and his team did a stellar job. Wish I could give more stars.After our first conversation, I knew they were the right team to represent me with my Camaro lemon. They were professional, answered all of my questions, and fought hard to get me an amazing settlement.Thanks again to Brian Cline, Jeffrey Moses, and the whole team forgoing beyond my expectations.Highly recommended.

Derek R.

Brian Cline represented my wife and I in a vehicle lemon law case. Brian handled the case like a pro and we couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent and fight for us. He kept in constant contact with us throughout the case, and made several very good and smart decisions throughout the process which ultimately granted us a successful outcome.When you think of Attorney’s or Lawyers, you usually think of slimy, lying or shady characters. Brian was the complete opposite. Brian was honest, reasonable, forthcoming, and of good character. Brian was stubborn in all the right ways you would hope an attorney representing you would be. I hope I never have to be in a situation where I need an attorney representing me again, but if I do, I will most certainly be contacting Brian to represent and fight for me.

Rob Z.

I engaged Cline APC to represent me and my claim against FCA. I was represented by Attorney Nia Perkins and my case was settled amicably prior to my scheduled court date. While I hope to never be in need of another "Lemon Law" legal team, Cline APC will be the first call I make if I ever do.

Tony G.

My Experience with Brian, Jeff and his firm staff was Great!. the process took some time and every time I requested update, i received the response very promptly. staff was very courteous and efficient. very profesional. exceeded my expectations.I would refer them or use their service again for sure.

The J&S F.

I had a lemon law, Brian, Camille, and John helped settle my case. They are very quick on responses, very professional, and extremely sweet. I would recommend Cline APC to any and everyone. Thank you all once again.

Robert K.

A lemon lawsuit is never a pleasant thing, but it makes all the difference to work with a lawyer and legal staff that know what they're talking about, know what they're doing, and perform with a high level of professionalism. Brian Cline and Cline APC were great to work with. They explained everything clearly, provided great advice, and got us the settlement we hoped for. Brian is very intelligent and capable, and I can't recommend him and his team highly enough.

German L.

Brian and team did an excellent work handling my case. I highlight the professionalism, great communication and transparency they all have. I recommend Cline APC to anybody dealing with defective vehicles not repaired under warranty.

Carol C.

I had an excellent experience with this law firm. I mostly dealt with Michael Devlin, who was excellent as well, but anyone I spoke with here answered my questions quickly and efficiently. I have absolutely no complaints. They kept me informed all the way through and they made a normally unpleasant experience, a pleasant one.

Ilia A.
