Areas of Practice
Automobile lemon law
In 1970, California enacted the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act requiring all manufacturers to repurchase or replace faulty products they failed to fix after a “reasonable number” of repair attempts. These 'fixes' can consist of almost anything, ranging from a dealership visit for a transmission replacement to a repair for to a window or water pump.
Dealership fraud
Dealership fraud consists of a wide variety of illegal practices and dealership scams that hurt consumers. These practices include not disclosing the vehicle had prior accident damage, not disclosing the vehicle was a rental vehicle prior to sale, or even a misrepresentations in price. Dealerships (also known as stealerships!) must be stopped!
Consumer goods
The California Lemon Law, part of The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, applies to all consumer products purchased for personal use. Although it is most often associated with defective vehicles, the Act provides warranty protections to purchasers and lessees of both new and used consumer goods. A consumer good is virtually any product purchased by an individual for personal or household use, except clothing and consumables. It could be anything from an electric toothbrush to a kitchen appliance.
“State lemon laws provide the primary protection for
purchasers of motor vehicles.”
