Florida Lemon Law attorney for owners of new luxury and electric vehicles still within the 24-month Lemon Law Rights Period. We help you pursue a manufacturer buyback or replacement under Fla. Stat. ch. 681. Contingency only — no recovery, no fee.
A few questions, starting with the original delivery date. If you’re in the 24-month window, or in the 24-to-26-month band just after it, we’ll take the rest of the facts and you can submit.
Florida's Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act protects buyers of new vehicles that can't be properly repaired under manufacturer warranty. If any of these apply, start a case review.
The manufacturer or authorized dealer has tried to fix the same defect three or more times — and it still isn't fixed.
Your vehicle has been at the dealership for warranty repairs for a cumulative total of 30 or more days within the Lemon Law Rights Period.
The defect substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the vehicle — and it isn't the result of abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications.
The issue began within 24 months of the vehicle's original delivery to its first consumer — the Florida "Lemon Law Rights Period."
The Florida Lemon Law applies to new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Florida. We focus exclusively on new-vehicle claims.
You have service invoices, repair orders, or documentation of the dealer visits. We'll help you organize them — but if you have them, bring them.
Vehicles This Practice Covers
We handle the entire process. You drive a rental, we handle the manufacturer.
You share the original delivery date and a few facts about the vehicle and repair history. If the matter is clearly past the filing window, we say so immediately. A delivery date in the 24-to-26-month band goes to attorney review.
If you’re in the window, send the full packet first (driver’s license, registration, lease or purchase contract, repair tickets). Only after those are in do we explain fees. Reply “I want to proceed” and we send the engagement agreement for electronic signature. After it’s signed, we open the file.
We send the statutory notice, assemble the record, and pursue a repurchase or replacement. Contingency only — if we don’t recover, you owe no attorney fee.
Our Fee Promise
If the applicable Lemon Law allows recovering attorney’s fees from the manufacturer in addition to your recovery, we pursue that route. Otherwise the contingency fee is 30% of the gross recovery. That fee is based on the gross recovery and is not reduced by lease or loan payoffs, mileage offsets, use deductions, negative equity, or similar items outside our control.
You pay no upfront attorney fee and no retainer. If we don’t recover for you, you owe no attorney fee. Court costs and expenses, if any, are disclosed in the engagement — they are not a retainer.
Start your case reviewThe fee arrangement is set out in writing before any engagement begins.
