A free California Lemon Law consultation with McMillan Law Group is a no-obligation, 15-minute evaluation of your Song-Beverly Act claim. Send us your year, make, model, VIN, purchase or lease date, current mileage, and a brief description of the defect along with any repair orders you have — and an attorney will tell you whether your facts support a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement under the California Lemon Law. There is no fee for the consultation and no obligation to proceed. If we represent you and win, the manufacturer pays our fees under Civil Code § 1794(d) — not you.
What We Need for the Consultation
- Year, make, model, and VIN
- Purchase or lease date and original delivery date
- Current mileage
- Whether the manufacturer warranty was in effect when the defect appeared
- Brief description of the defect — what it does, when it does it
- Repair history — dates and dealer for each repair visit, with mileage and complaint
- Repair orders if you have them (PDFs preferred)
Don’t have all of this? Send what you have. We can usually evaluate eligibility even with partial documentation and help you obtain the rest if needed.
What Happens After the Consultation
- Evaluation. We tell you whether your facts support a Song-Beverly claim and, if yes, an estimated value range.
- No obligation. If you don’t want to proceed, you owe nothing.
- Engagement letter (if you choose to retain us). We send a contingency engagement letter confirming zero out-of-pocket cost and § 1794(d) fee-shifting.
- Records collection. We pull repair orders and warranty paperwork.
- Statutory notice. We serve the manufacturer with the formal § 1793.2(d)(2) notice.
- Negotiation or litigation. Most cases settle in 3–9 months. See case timeline.
