Why California Drivers File More Lemon Law Claims Than Most States

California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act gives Orange County drivers some of the strongest consumer protections in the United States, and our local team knows exactly how to enforce them against every major manufacturer.

What Is Lemon Law in Orange County?
California's lemon law — formally the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act — protects Orange County consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. If your car can't be fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts, the manufacturer must either replace it or refund your money.
The law applies to new and used vehicles still under the original or CPO warranty, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and even RVs. It also covers leased vehicles. Best of all, the manufacturer must pay your attorney's fees — meaning real legal representation costs you nothing.
Do You Qualify for a Lemon Law Claim in Orange County?
You may qualify if:
- Your vehicle was purchased or leased in California
- It came with a manufacturer's warranty (new or used CPO)
- It has a substantial defect affecting use, value, or safety
- The dealership has made multiple repair attempts without success
