David is exceptional and his staff are even more impressive! I am an attorney myself so I did my homework & consulted with a few attorneys before retaining Goldsmith West. I do not practice Lemon Law but as an attorney, I was involved every step of the way. They are meticulous, detail-oriented and very experienced in this field. I do not believe I would have received a better outcome with any other firm! Thanks team!

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions:

What does lemon law do?

Lemon law requires the manufacturer of the defective product to buy the product back or replace it — whichever option the consumer prefers.

What does lemon law entitle me to?

The law entitles you to reimbursement of all money paid for your lemon, including down payments, monthly finance payments, any trade-in value the dealership received, taxes and licensing fees, and your lease or finance contract.

In the case of a replacement, the manufacturer must offer you a “substantially identical” motor vehicle, and pay all taxes and licensing fees. In either case, you are also entitled to reimbursement for additional damages, such as towing and repair costs.

How much does it cost to pursue a lemon law case?

While some law firms may require fees or other payment, Goldsmith West takes cases with no upfront fees and on a contingency basis. This means we seek to recover our costs and fees from the manufacturer that is being sued. Win or lose, you will owe us no fees out of pocket.

How long does it take to receive compensation?

There are no straightforward rules regarding timing of compensation. Unfortunately, it’s common for manufacturers to drag their feet. It is best to expect at least three months for a pre-litigation settlement, at least six months for a settlement during litigation, and at least one year for a case that goes to trial.

How does a Lemon Law settlement work?

Many lemon law cases have an uncertain outcome, but are still settled by compromise. These often result in a cash payment, but may also include features such as an extended warranty, manufacturer-supervised repair, or a credit toward the future purchase of a vehicle, as well as anything that can be creatively worked out between both sides.

What are the steps to filing a claim?

(1) Case evaluation: We analyze your case and your desired outcomes.

(2) Negotiation/Litigation: We tailor a strategy — informally, or, if necessary, through the court — to educate the manufacturer about the merits of your claim.

(3) Resolution: Outcome is achieved by settlement, mediation, arbitration, or trial. We arrange payment of the proceeds and any other settlement or judgment details. Over 99% of cases end in settlement.
