The manufacturer, NOT YOU! Under the California Lemon Law Statute, the manufacturer is responsible for paying the attorney’s fees, not the client. The California Lemon Law is a consumer protection law designed to place consumers in a position had the vehicle never been purchased. If you have to pay a portion of your buyback refund to an attorney, you are not made whole. That is why the manufacturer is responsible for paying your lemon law attorney’s fees on top of your buyback refund.

If your Lemon Law claim is successful, you will be entitled to receive a refund of all your payments minus a usage deduction, payoff of your loan or lease, your down payment, registration fees, and incidental damages such as towing expenses. You may also elect for a replacement vehicle. In some instances, you may receive a cash settlement and keep the vehicle. Remedies vary depending on your particular case and circumstances.
