Having a knowledgeable attorney on your side with the resources to resolve a contested case can lead to a favorable outcome more quickly than pursuing the claim on your own.

How many repair attempts are required before a vehicle is considered a lemon? Depending on the nature of the performance issue or defect, one to three repair attempts will be attempted within a specific time frame.
