Our story

We love cars. And we hate seeing people get ripped off. We are experienced Car Sales Fraud and lemon law lawyers.  That is why we are dedicated to helping you enforce your legal rights against car dealer ripoffs. 

Our team of lawyers, paralegals and legal assistants has been helping people get rid of lemon vehicles and fighting car sales fraud for more than 40 years. A lot of car dealers know us and don’t like us, and we don’t mind. Our attorneys know the law so well that we have been regularly invited to explain and teach about these consumer protection laws to other attorneys, judges, college professors, and law students at national and local seminars and conferences across the country.

Our Philosophy

We are a small firm with big abilities.  We have the experience, knowledge, resources and ability to handle the smallest case or the largest, most complex Consumer Law legal matters.  At the same time, however, we are not burdened with excessive overhead or needless staff.  That means we can respond to your questions and your needs quickly and personally. We won’t leave you in the dark.

You come first.  Our business is helping people just like you.  We don’t represent car dealers or repair shops. We are committed to prompt, responsive and personal service.  We answer our own phones – your call will never be met by a phone recording when we are here, and we don’t use an answering service located in another state or another country.  We are sensitive to your economic needs.  We offer you contingent, fee-shifting, or fixed fees wherever appropriate.  The way our attorney fees work is explained, discussed and agreed upon before we start to work.  At our law firm, we work as a team for you – and you are the most important member of our team.

We are deal makers, not deal breakers.  If we can settle your dispute for you without you having to go to Court, we will.  We know the vehicle manufacturers and they know us. If there is a way to settle your case without even filing a lawsuit, we will do that.  We work to make solutions happen for you, so that you can get rid of your problem and get your money back.

We are trial attorneys.  If your case cannot be settled, then we will go into a courtroom with you and handle your trial, presenting your case to a judge or jury so that you will have your day in court.  Most lawyers do not have any courtroom experience at all, but we’ve been going to court for consumers for over 40 years.  Businesses and their lawyers know which lawyers are the real trial attorneys and which ones are not, and you can be sure that has an effect on the settlement offers they make (and what happens in the courtroom if they don’t settle)!

We don’t need a learning curve.  We have handled thousands of cases.  We are experienced at what we do.  Whether it’s our ability to provide an immediate answer to a problem, recognize important facts and legal issues at the start of a case, or negotiate a proven result, we have the experience and commitment needed to help you quickly and cost effectively.

We are trained in the latest dispute resolution techniques.  When a client is involved in a dispute with another party, sometimes a lawsuit is the best and only way to resolve it.  Sometimes, though, a good lawyer has to be creative in order to find the best solution.  That is why our firm is thoroughly experienced in all methods of alternative dispute resolution.  We know the good, the bad, and the ugly of how they work or don’t work.  We can help you get the best result possible, as quickly as possible – inside the courtroom or outside of it.
