How Lemon Law Finder works

What happens to your request

1. You fill in the case check and tick the box that lets us share it.
2. We find a lemon law firm that takes cases like yours in your state and pass your request to it. It never goes to more than one firm.
3. The lawyer contacts you. You decide whether to work with them. If you say no, nothing more happens.

It is free for you, and you never pay us. We take no requests from Colorado, where state law does not allow paid legal leads.

How the site is paid for

The guides and the case check are free for you. Law firms that take lemon law cases pay us a fixed fee for each request passed to them, or a fixed monthly fee. The fee is the same whether or not you hire them, and it is never a share of what you win or of their fee.

Why lawyers take these cases for free

Most state lemon laws, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, make the manufacturer pay the owner's attorney fees when the owner wins. That is why most lemon law lawyers charge you nothing up front. It is not always free: some lawyers charge costs, take a share of a settlement that pays no separate fee, or charge if the case is lost. A few states' lemon laws set no fee rule of their own, and there the federal law is the route. Ask the lawyer how they are paid, and get it in writing, before you sign.

Where the guides come from

Each state guide summarizes the state's lemon law and quotes it word for word, with a link to the official text or the state attorney general. We check the quotes against those pages, and each guide shows the date of its last check.
