Our Team
At The Lemon Reps, you’re not just getting a lawyer — you’re getting a dedicated lemon law attorney team that fights manufacturers head-on so you walk away with what you’re owed.
Joseph Novel founded The Lemon Reps in 2018 with a clear mission: to give everyday consumers a skilled, strategic advocate when going up against major auto manufacturers. A Los Angeles-based attorney with a J.D. from Southwestern Law School and a B.A. in History from UCLA, Joseph has developed a focused, results-driven practice built entirely around getting clients what they’re owed, whether that’s a full refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement. His approach is methodical: he understands the tactics manufacturers use to delay and deny claims, and he knows exactly how to counter them. Representing clients across all 50 states at no cost to them, Joseph has established The Lemon Reps as a nationally recognized lemon law firm with a proven track record of wins. His fluency in English, Farsi, and Spanish further ensures that every client receives the clear, direct representation they deserve from day one.
Andrew Bandzar is a passionate advocate who defends his clients with unwavering zeal. He joined The Lemon Reps with a commitment to calculated, legally strategic representation, ensuring clients’ interests are protected in clear, straightforward terms. Andrew holds a B.A. in Economics from Emory University and a J.D. from Michigan State University College of Law. His background spans lemon law, criminal prosecution, criminal defense, and tax law, offering a well-rounded perspective that benefits every case. Whether negotiating with manufacturers or guiding clients through the legal process, Andrew ensures every client feels confident their case is in good hands.

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 Natalie EbrahimiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

No! You pay nothing out of pocket. If your case qualifies, the manufacturer covers all legal costs—so there’s no risk to you.
Most cases settle within a few months, but it depends on the manufacturer’s response. Our team works quickly to get you results as fast as possible.
That’s exactly why Lemon Law exists! If your vehicle has been in for repairs multiple times and the issue still isn’t fixed, you may qualify for a refund, replacement, or cash compensation.
✔ Full Refund – You get your money back, including taxes and fees
✔ Replacement Vehicle – A brand-new car of equal value
✔ Cash Settlement – Keep your car and receive a payout
