Before becoming an attorney, I worked for an outside law firm that defends one of the major car manufacturers in regards to breach of warranty in the United States. I am a United States Military veteran of 12 years, both on the reserve and active components. I commit to working on your case with military precision. Beyond my Law Degree (JD), I have two Masters of Law (LLM). I am an immigrant to these beautiful United States and a blue-collar worker at heart, and I care about my clients. Many people have the misconception of what a "lemon law" claim is. Essentially, a lemon law claim is a breach of warranty claim against the manufacturer of a vehicle. In California, lemon law derives from the Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, which was enacted by the California State Legislature some time ago, and it can be found in the California Civil Code. When a consumer purchases or leases a vehicle from a dealership, the manufacturer of the vehicle gives the buyer "promises" in the form of an expressed warranty, and an implied warranty of merchantability that the car would "conform" to these promises. If the vehicle does not conform to these promises, and these "non-conformities" would substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety, the manufacturer may have breached the warranty, or warranties. The expressed warranty and the implied warranty of merchantability, are said to run concurrently, or at the same time. An expressed warranty is explicit - for example, in a brochure or advertisement, the manufacturer may make specific promises that the car would do certain things, etc. The implied warranty of merchantability is an implied promise by the manufacturer that the car would function as a car would, for example, run as a car would. The job of a good attorney is to ascertain where these warranties, or set of promises, are breached by the manufacturer and then match these breaches up against the Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and related statutes.
