Only about half of the states allow you to recover attorney fees. If your attorney sues under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you will be awarded attorney fees if you win. Note that an attorney's fee is based upon actual time expended rather than being tied to any percentage of the recovery. Thus, you should never have to pay for any legal fees. Some states have separate laws for used vehicles.
Some states provide protection only for new cars.
However, federal law under the Magnuson-Moss Act protects used and leased vehicles. Contact us to find out whether your car qualifies as a lemon.
