We will do our best to get back to you the same day if possible. It will be within 2 business days at the latest, guaranteed!
As long as we are permitted to complete our 3-Step Out-of-Court Lemonaid Resolution Process from start to finish there are no out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees charged to our clients for out of court pre-litigation representation EVER! Attorneys’ fees are requested under the law on your behalf from your vehicle’s manufacturer as part of any settlement.
We only get paid if YOU GET PAID!
The reason there is no out-of-pocket charge to you in our 3-Step Out-of-Court Lemonaid Resolution Process is because an attorneys’ fee provision was included in the law.
That was done because manufacturers were not standing behind their products and warranties.
Congress wanted people to have the help of attorneys so the car companies would stop taking advantage of people and would accept responsibility for poorly made products. Most attorneys would not be willing to take on small dollar vehicle cases because the fees charged wouldn’t make sense in many cases.
At the same time consumers would not want to pay attorneys’ fees out-of-pocket.
For all these reasons the companies are liable for attorneys’ fees for cases that settle and we will never charge you out-of-pocket for out-of-court representation as long as we are allowed to complete our 3-Step Out-of-Court Lemonaid Resolution Process.
If there is only a small compensation offer made out of court we will cut our fees if necessary and split it in half with you if you do not want to go to court under our FAIR FEE GUARANTEE.
Our policy is to NEVER get paid more than our clients for out-of-court representation, EVER!
As long as you don’t end the representation (or cause the representation to be ended) prior to completion of our 3-Step Out-of-Court Lemonaid Resolution Process the answer is an unequivocal NO.
We get paid the attorneys’ fees sought on your behalf by the company if we get your case settled for you (a Refund, New Vehicle, or Cash Compensation).
If we are unable to get the case settled out-of-court or the maximum offer the company makes is not accepted by you, there will be no attorneys’ fee charge.
We will advise you about whether we believe an offer is fair and reasonable under the circumstances and regarding settlement options, but whether to settle or not is always up to you.
All that we ask is that you give us a chance to do our job, and do not sabotage the process before it is completed by trading out of your vehicle or ending the representation prior to resolution.
Usually very little of your time.
With Amar Law Group’s efforts, most cases are resolved out of court within 1-4 months; the average is 2-3 months.
This time span can be longer if you obtain a repurchase or replacement vehicle because there is more to do administratively for those types of resolutions.
There are also some instances when the manufacturer has a large volume of cases to deal with, which could cause the process to take longer.
Your main responsibility during this process will be to confer with your attorney regarding settlement offers, keep your attorney posted about any new repair issues, and provide any vehicle records the other side might request to review if we don’t already have them from you.
This will typically takes only 10-30 minutes of your time because there are no hearings to attend for our 3-Step Out-of-Court Lemonaid Resolution Process.
We know you are busy and we will do all of the heavy lifting to deal with your out-of-court case for you.
This depends on the mileage of your vehicle and when it was purchased.
Under the Nevada Lemon Law you have 18 months from when a new vehicle is put into service to file a claim.
The statute of limitations for Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act cases is 4 years from when the warranty is breached for car cases and most RV cases (although some RV companies attempt to limit the time for bringing claims in their warranties without proper disclosure to consumers; we argue on behalf of consumers that such limitations are legally invalid, but please contact us for an in depth analysis of your specific RV situation if you are concerned about being timed out of a claim due to warranty fine print).
If you do not make a timely claim, you may lose your Lemon Law or breach of warranty rights to recovery no matter how severe your problems have been, so please do not delay contacting us to evaluate your vehicle situation.
That’s great if your vehicle is (possibly) repaired.
Let us ask you though, did you expect to deal with so many repair attempts or time without your vehicle when you first bought this brand new vehicle?
Was it convenient for you to have to take it in for repairs?
Was the rental/loaner (if one was even provided without a charge) the same caliber as your car?
Even if it was, you have still been inconvenienced and providing a rental is not a defense to a Lemon Law claim.
Do you feel after dealing with all these problems that you got the new vehicle value you paid for?
Look we understand you might like the car, truck, motorcycle, or RV. That’s why you bought it, but if it is truly finally properly repaired, and only time will tell on that, you should at least still get some of your money back for the inconvenience and for having overpaid for a new vehicle that’s had repairs like a used vehicle.
Those types of cash settlements are actually the most common and easier to negotiate because car companies prefer to just say they’re sorry and to keep you as a customer by cutting you a check to make things right with you rather than reacquiring a vehicle they then have to deal with the administrative burden of labeling the vehicle a “Lemon” and wholesaling it at auction for a loss.
The main point is, that consumer protection law steps in to say enough is enough once a vehicle has had too many repairs or has been in the repair shop for too long even if the vehicle is finally repaired.
Time is our most limited resource and you will never get the time back for dealing with these repair issues.
You should at least be compensated for that.
Keep in mind the law is not punitive here. We aren’t seeking millions of dollars from the company.
It’s just about getting you the new vehicle value you deserve and that type of substantial compensation will only take 15-30 minutes of your time because we do all the heavy lifting and there are no hearings to attend in the out-of-court process (95% of our cases settle out-of-court).
So it’s up to you if you think that very short time investment that costs you nothing when our 3-Step Out-of-Court Lemonaid Resolution Process is completed, is worth potentially thousands of dollars in compensation.
That’s a legitimate concern.
What you should know though is that the Lemon Law applies to the manufacturer of a defective vehicle, not the dealer.
The dealer does repairs on behalf of the car company but it is a completely independent entity.
There is no cost to the dealer under the Lemon Law.
We’ve even had cases where honest dealers recommend to their customers to look into the Lemon Law.
For RVs, Offroad Vehicles and Boats there are some instances where we have to include the selling dealership because of exclusions of Lemon law coverage for certain products and we have to use laws that directly apply to dealers to get consumers the best resolution possible.
However, manufacturers generally indemnify/defend dealerships for any warranty or revocation of acceptance claims for these products so we are still technically pursuing the matter against the manufacturer of the product.
In our experience dealers do not retaliate against consumers for Lemon Law or breach of warranty claims because the law applies to the manufacturer not the dealership and so the dealer doesn’t lose any money.
Additionally, the product warranty requires that necessary defect in materials and workmanship repairs be performed and if a dealer refuses to repair legitimate defects that would lead to breach of warranty legal penalties against the manufacturer, which is its business partner.
It is understandable to want to try and work things out amicably with the car, motorcyle, or RV company.
What you need to know though is that the company is not necessarily looking out for your best interest. Most companies do all they can to minimize their expenses and want to do the least amount possible to resolve Lemon Law matters.
They train their representatives to sweet talk you and do nothing of substance or just to give you something minimal (but very unfair) like a month of payment or a short warranty extension.
Sometimes you’ll even be asked to sign a document relinquishing your Lemon Law rights to get that kind of low ball offer.
We’ve seen this happen multiple times with clients that had very strong claims entitling them to a Refund, New Vehicle or substantially higher Cash Compensation, but there was nothing we could do to help because they unknowingly signed all of their rights away.
Keep in mind, several car companies have not done safety recalls for $20-$100 parts knowing that people could be harmed. This is what you’re dealing with.
The car and RV companies also know that out of every 10 people with legitimate Lemon Law or breach of warranty cases maybe 1 or 2 out of 10 will go the extra step and hire an attorney even if they are threatening to get an attorney involved or say they have talked to one.
They know most people are leery of dealing with attorneys because of negative media impressions or negative experiences in different types of legal matters.
They also know that most consumers do not fully understand the Lemon Law resolution process and pitfalls that could hurt or even cause a claim to fail.
Because of that they either offer something minimal or nothing at all.
Even in the rare cases when companies do accept responsibility and offer a buyback or replacement vehicle, often times those offers do not include everything the consumer is entitled to recover under the law.
Finally, if you had a medical issue would you do surgery on yourself?
Then why would you do the same thing with a legal issue against a multi-million or even multi-billion dollar company with legally trained representatives?
Keep in mind that car or RV company representatives for Lemon Law and breach of warranty matters are sometimes actually attorneys or at least legally trained regarding Lemon Laws and civil legal matters and this training could be used to get you to make statements or admissions that could hurt or even defeat your Lemon Law case.
You don’t have to go into the Lion’s Den on your own.
You can have a Law Firm that has dealt with these companies (and defeated them at trial when necessary) on your side to protect your rights and to fight on your behalf to get the best deal possible for you.
The unfair and unequal bargaining position between individual consumers and these large companies is why Congress included an attorneys’ fees provision requiring that manufacturers pay attorneys’ fees for these types of claims. Congress wanted consumers to have a level playing field with attorneys representing their interests and not to have the cost of hiring an attorney preventing such legal assistance.
You are legally entitled to and deserve this 100% Free Legal Help!
That concern is understandable. We would like to reiterate though that the time investment would be very minimal.
We can handle everything over phone, email, and fax and 15-30 minutes of your time could result in a refund, a new car or substantial compensation (several thousand dollars depending on the severity of the defect and repair history).
It would be well worth your while for the minimal time involved because worst case scenario if the out-of-court process is completed, is you are out only that small amount of time and have been charged nothing for the representation.
The other 95% of the time a Refund, New Vehicle, or Cash Compensation has been obtained for you out of court for an under 30 minute time investment.
We’re not a huge fan of many attorneys ourselves. Although the media can exaggerate the negative and ignore the positive in any profession, we know that there are parts of the legal profession that are basically broken. Lots of legal representation is costly and self serving. Many attorneys and Firms just care about getting paid, and not necessarily about the results their clients get from the representation.
We do things differently at this Firm. We are working on becoming the Zappos of law firms where we ALWAYS put our clients first. We understand that even in a case where we get paid less by cutting our fee, if we do right by our clients it will come back to us through referrals and positive reviews.
We also seek to persuade companies that it would be in their best interests to accept responsibility for defective products, take care of their customers, and keep them with the brand long term. 95% of the time we are successful at getting companies to accept responsibility out of court with settlements that our clients are very satisfied with.
If you take a look at our Testimonials and 5 Star Reviews you’ll see how we take care of our clients.
Yes, your warranty is still valid. Also, any settlement reached does not affect your right to continue to receive warranty repairs for the normal duration of your vehicle’s warranty.
No. Settlement terms will not be reported in any public database or on the internet. The vehicle only gets tagged a “Lemon” if the manufacturer reacquires it from you under the Lemon Law.
If you are not happy with an out-of-court offer or non-offer (which only happens in 5% or less of our cases) and decide to pursue litigation, our attorneys will fight to get you the best outcome possible and will continually attempt to settle your case throughout the process.
Unlike other run of the mill firms that may not be willing to litigate (and car, motorcycle, and RV companies know who these firms are), Amar Law Group’s attorneys have fully and successfully litigated cases through trial and in the Court of Appeals and we have a much higher winning percentage in Court than most Lemon Law firms.
A very high percentage of claims (at least 95%) are resolved by Amar Law Group out-of-court without the need for litigation, so in most cases the answer is no.
There are a small percentage of cases where there is a non-offer or unfair offer made. When necessary, our Firm litigates cases on behalf of consumers and we are always willing to take valid claims to court.
With that being said, if a claim is not resolved out of court because the maximum offer made is insufficient, you are under no obligation to proceed to court with a lawsuit if you do not wish to (although most of the 5% of our clients who are not satisfied with an out of court proposal do decide to litigate and most of those cases are resolved successfully by us for higher compensation to them, and for the few case that go all the way to arbitration or trial we have a much higher winning percentage than the vast majority of Lemon Law attorneys).
Nonetheless, if you do not wish to litigate and the 3-Step Out-of-Court Resolution Process has been completed, you have the option to end the representation out-of-court without owing any attorneys’ fees.
If you decide to pursue litigation in court and prevail, an attorneys’ fee petition is filed with the court on your behalf for payment of attorneys’ fees. If the full attorneys’ fees are not awarded by the judge, the outstanding fees are paid from the total recovery.
If you comply with the representation agreement, but unfortunately do not win the case, then no attorneys’ fees will be owed in the vast majority of cases.
The are a few very limited circumstances where a client would need to be charged attorneys’ fees for litigation representation (i.e., if there is a major legal or factual problem with the case or the client is only willing to accept the max possible result and is not willing to accept any type of compromise settlement). Please call us for details.
Most cases (95%+) are resolved out of court without any need for court filing costs or any other types of costs.
If you decide to pursue litigation by filing a court complaint, the filing and service of process fees are the responsibility of the client.
There may also be other costs associated with prosecuting your case depending on how far it goes, like deposition transcripts and/or expert fees.
It is our goal to resolve your case as quickly as possible and to limit costs only incurring costs if they are absolutely necessary to prosecute your claim.
Going to trial even if you file a lawsuit is very rare. Often times, there are many opportunities to settle a case before filing a formal complaint in court and even after a complaint is filed, there are additional opportunities to obtain recovery through settlement before going to trial.
Ultimately, if the matter is not resolved because the sides are too far apart on settlement, it may have to be decided at trial.
We have a winning record at trial and will do our utmost to prepare you for such an eventuality if at all necessary.
