Consumer Protection

Consumer Protection and Lemon Law Attorneys

A "lemon" is generally defined as a product with substantial defects that impair its value, safety or use. Examples include

• A car with brakes that routinely fail
• An RV that will not go in reverse
• A mobile home with doors or windows that do not work properly
• A camper that leaks

In order to protect consumers from defective products, most jurisdictions have passed "lemon laws." and California is a leader. If you are going to cross the minefield that is consumer protection law, you need a lawyer who is familiar with that field. The attorneys at Greene, Chauvel, Descalso & Minoletti have represented consumers for more than 18 years. Contact the firm today to talk to an attorney who is well versed in California lemon law.

Lemon Law Cases

Although lemon laws were originally written for cars, they have since expanded to include any product that needs excessive repairs within the designated warranty period. The Greene, Chauvel, Descalso & Minoletti law firm handles cases that involve:

• Automobile lemon law
• RV lemon law
• Construction defects
• Mobile home or manufactured home lemon law
• Products liability

Lemon law is a highly specialized area of law. There are not that many lawyers who regularly take lemon law cases. If you want to bring a successful case, you need an advocate who is familiar with the system. This law firm has more than 18 years experience in consumer protection. Their attorneys can guide you through every step. They will relentlessly pursue your warranty rights for repair, replacement, or reimbursement.

Keep in mind that not every car that sputters or "sounds funny" is a lemon nor is every manufactured home with a squeaky floor. In order to qualify under California lemon law, a product must have a substantial defect. It must also have been under warranty when the defect was discovered. There may also be a claim for breach of contract or misrepresentation involved. If you are not sure whether your home, car, RV, or other product qualifies, contact Greene, Chauvel, Descalso, & Minoletti. One of their attorneys can give you an accurate assessment of your case. If you have a lemon, there is a remedy under the law. If not, you are no worse off than you were before.

Do not delay. Warranties only last so long.
