Our Process
Is a Lemon Law lawsuit necessary?
We rarely have to file a Lemon lawsuit.
Most of our clients have never been involved in a lawsuit before, and prefer to avoid one if possible. We often get asked, “Is a Lemon Law lawsuit necessary?”
The short answer is no. In the large majority of our Lemon Law cases, our Santa Monica Lemon Law lawyers do not have to file a lawsuit. Once we have all the necessary documents, we start every case by writing a letter to the vehicle manufacturer. More often than not, the manufacturer simply accepts our letter and offers to repurchase your vehicle.
A lawsuit only becomes a consideration if the manufacturer refuses to repurchase your vehicle. At that point, our negotiation has likely come to a standstill. A lawsuit can be an effective tool to overcome that standstill. The manufacturer has to hire lawyers, and the Court gets involved.
However, a lawsuit is never the first option. Lawsuits typically take a long time to resolve and often invade into your privacy. Each side is allowed to get information from one another, including some details you may prefer to keep private.
We advise every client of the pro’s and con’s of a potential lawsuit, give our recommendation, and ultimately allow the client to make the final decision. Each person is different and some are more/less comfortable with a lawsuit. Thankfully, only a small percentage of our cases end up in Court.

Things to know about our Lemon law process
Reputation matters. At Sina Rez Law, our Lemon Law lawyers have established a highly regarded reputation with all the major car manufacturers.
Manufacturers consider a Lemon Law attorney’s reputation as part of their analysis of a claim. They know we won’t back down when many other less experienced attorneys will. This increases the chances of your claim being approved.
If our Santa Monica Lemon Law attorneys successfully convince the manufacturer that your vehicle qualifies under California’s Lemon Law, we will force the manufacturer to repurchase your car.
That means you get nearly all of your money back, minus a deduction for the amount of miles your vehicle was trouble-free.
If our Santa Monica Lemon Law attorneys are successful in forcing the manufacturer to repurchase your car under California’s Lemon Law, the law says the manufacturer must pay our attorney’s fees and costs.
This allows us to represent many people who would otherwise not be able to afford a Lemon Law lawyer.

Testimonials
Shifting gears , winning cases.
Only slight gripe is whenever I left a text, phone call or email, took forever to respond about the progress of the case, which took forever itself ( 6 months), but it was worth the wait and would not hesitate to recommend or use again. Some dealers take longer so can't blame them for that.
