Thanks to the world wide web, anyone can promote their services on-line through systems like google adwords. This enables law firms to target specific terms and pay to appear under these terms. There is no filter. There currently is no law against doing so. The disturbing fact is that folks can write anything in their ads that they want - there is no control or protocol. Law firms can tell prospective clients they have 20 years experience in a particular state like Pennsylvania where they have not. While we think this is poor form, we don't necessarily fault them, they're trying to make some money. It does mean however, that you may not be getting the service you expect so you need to know who you are hiring. When hiring a lemon law attorney, it is very important that you ask questions and

The Federal Lemon Law, officially known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, provides for the payment of your attorney fees and court costs if successful, as do most State Lemon laws.To qualify for protection under a Lemon Law, you must generally have a defective consumer product that has not been fixed within a reasonable amount of repair attempts. Most State Lemon Laws specifically apply to motor vehicles and require the manufacturer to ref

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE NEW YORK NEW CAR LEMON LAW? The New Car Lemon Law provides a legal remedy for buyers or lessees of new cars that turn out to be lemons. If your car does not conform to the terms of the written warranty and the manufacturer or its authorized dealer is unable to repair the car after a reasonable number of attempts during the first 18,000 miles or two years, whichever comes first, you may be entitled to a full refund or a comparable replacement car. A copy of the law may be found in the back of this booklet. WHICH CARS ARE COVERED BY THE LEMON LAW? The law covers both new and used cars, including demonstrators, which satisfy all of the following four conditions: 1. The car was covered by the manufacturer's new car warranty at the time of original delivery; and 2. The car was purchased, leased or transferred within the earlier of the first 18,000 miles or two years from the date of original delivery; and 3. The car either

As I’ve mentioned previously on this blog, this summer we purchased a new vehicle. Fortunately so far things have been fine and we haven’t had any major issues. On the other hand, one of my friends got a new van a few months previous and had all sorts of problems… issues with the automatic sliding door, problems with the headlights, and last I heard he was still working out some sort of intermittent issue with the rear windshield wiper. Today I found out about LemonLawFirms.org which provides information about Lemon Laws (by state) as well as information on local attorneys in the field.
