Joey and his team are an excellent resource for anyone dealing with persistent new-car issues. Literally, if your car is less than 5 years old and keeps getting stuck in the dealership, they can help you get compensation back from the manufacturer. I didn't even realize this was an option until I talked with him. Glad I found these guys.Posted on Google![]()

Usually nothing out of pocket. In most states the manufacturer pays your attorney’s fees separately when your claim succeeds, and The Lemon Reps work on a no-fee-unless-you-win basis. You can have a lemon law attorney review your repair history for free before you commit to anything.
Yes. The Lemon Reps are lemon law attorneys representing owners nationwide, in all 50 states, under each state’s lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Your location does not limit your rights. Check your state to see the exact rules that apply to you.
You can file alone, but a lemon law attorney knows the tactics manufacturers use to delay and deny, and in most states the manufacturer pays the attorney’s fees when you win. That means skilled help often costs you nothing while improving what you recover. Results vary by case.
It depends on the facts, the manufacturer, and your state. A lemon law attorney can give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your repair orders.
Depending on your state and facts, you may recover a buyback of your purchase price, a comparable replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement, plus documented costs like rentals and towing. In many states the manufacturer also pays your attorney’s fees. Results vary by case.
