Seven Steps to getting rid of your Lemon.

5. Provide your attorney with all of the relevant documents.
Your attorney will need the purchase/lease agreement, the financing agreement, the repair orders, any TSB's, the warranty booklet, a copy of your registration, and a copy of your title, if you have it.


6. Allow your attorney to go to work for you.
The lemon law field is a pretty small one. For the most part ,the attorneys who handle these types of cases know what they are doing. Follow their advice.


7. Do not always insist on a buy-back of the vehicle.
This is a big one. Many clients who call my office demand that the Manufacturer buy their vehicle back. And many times, they are within their rights to do so. However, as you can imagine, Manufacturers are not quick to buy vehicles back. What the client needs to look at is how they can get out of their vehicle in the quickest, fairest fashion. Often times, a cash settlement can be beneficial in this regard. This may give you enough money to get out of the vehicle and have a nice down payment on a new one. Again, though, I only advise this when it is in the client's best interests.
