FIELDS OF EXPERTISE
IS A MOTOR VEHICLE PURCHASE GIVING YOU FITS?
Purchasing a new or used motor vehicle should be a reason to celebrate. If you end up returning it to the dealer multiple times for repairs that do not get the vehicle operating correctly, you may have a “lemon.”
A Lemon Law Attorney protects consumers from being stuck with a vehicle that is under warranty and does not meet the performance specifications of the manufacturer’s warranty, or it cannot be satisfactorily repaired after numerous attempts. In some cases, consumers may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a refund.

OUR ADVICE
BUYING A USED CAR?
When buying a used car, always go with the manufacturer’s certified pre-owned program (CPO). People buy used cars to save money and avoid the immediate twenty percent depreciation on a new car. Often I hear from clients who bought a Chevy from a Ford Store. If there are problems with the car, Ford will seldom be accountable to you under the lemon law. If you buy that same Chevy from a General Motors dealership under their CPO program, both General Motors and the Dealership will be accountable.

What Our San Diego Lemon Law Clients Say
Real reviews from McMillan Law Group clients on Google
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional legal assistance I received from Julian in handling my lemon law case. After purchasing a brand-new Ford F-150 that turned out to be riddled with mechanical issues, I was feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and unsure of my options. That’s when I reached out to Julian, and from the very first consultation, I knew I was in great hands…
I would highly recommend McMillan Law Group for any Lemon Case. I recently settled my case and was extremely satisfied with my outcome. Julian is very responsive and settled my case sooner than I expected. I am very grateful for his assistance. I will recommend anyone to McMillan Law Group!!
Julian was amazing! Super quick on communication! The dealership who my case was through missed 2 deadlines and a court appearance but Julian stayed on top of them and got us our settlement and even countered and got us more cash in the end! Can’t go wrong with Julian!
Julian McMillan is an excellent attorney. My 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman was still under warranty when I discovered an issue with the fuel line that Mini couldn’t correct after 3 visits. Mr. McMillan understood the law in relation to my issue and dealt with the manufacturer on my behalf. He arranged for BMW (the manufacturer of Mini) to buy back my car based on the mileage on the car when I first discovered the issue…
Julian is the best in the business! He was very knowledgeable and kept me informed step by step in the process. My case was settled quickly and was very satisfied with the outcome! Thank you again McMillan Law Group!
Julian is attentive, thorough, and well versed in lemon law and what is necessary to advocate for resolution. He is a seasoned attorney in this area of law and expedites the process so it is seamless and moves forward as smoothly as possible in this adversarial situation. I was more than satisfied with my end result in that it was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend Julian!
Dealing with a Lemon, which I never knew I had one until I made a call to Julian McMillan, he assured me many times my vehicle was a Lemon. From the very first consultation he was very knowledgeable empathetic and fiercely dedicated to getting me the justice I deserved. Julian is amazing…
Julian stood out when I was researching lemon law attorneys. On the phone, he was very kind, knowledgeable, and understanding of our frustrations with our vehicle. My wife and I highly recommend Julian McMillan because he genuinely does care. He asks questions and also empathizes with the situation…
I was referred to McMillan Law to see Julian. Seeing so many commercials and ads about other law groups I still decided to go with Julian based off of his attitude and responses in regards to the case. It was a very easy process. It went very smoothly and he was very communicative throughout the whole case…
California Lemon Law Knowledge Center
If your vehicle has spent more time at the dealer than on the road, you may have a California Lemon Law claim under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Browse the full guide below or request a free case review.
Know the Law
California’s Song-Beverly Act is one of the strongest consumer-warranty statutes in the U.S. Learn the lemon law presumption (4 attempts, 2 for safety, or 30 days out of service), how it interacts with the federal Magnuson-Moss Act, and what the statute of limitations means for your timing.
The Claim Process
A California lemon law claim moves through documentation, statutory notice, optional BBB Auto Line arbitration, and (when needed) civil litigation. Most cases resolve in 3 to 9 months.
Your Recovery
Successful claimants choose between a buyback, a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement. Willful manufacturer conduct exposes them to a civil penalty up to 2× damages, and attorney’s fees are paid by the manufacturer under § 1794(d).
What Counts as a Lemon
Common qualifying defects include the engine, transmission, electrical, brakes, safety systems, and infotainment software. Defects affecting safety often qualify after just two repair attempts.
Vehicles & Manufacturers
The Lemon Law covers used vehicles, leased vehicles, EVs, motorcycles, and RVs. See brand-specific pattern defects for Tesla, Honda, Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, and others.
