Fighting for Consumers in Sherman Oaks and Across Los Angeles
Buying a vehicle should represent freedom, reliability, and peace of mind. For many drivers in Sherman Oaks, however, that experience quickly turns into frustration when a new or recently purchased vehicle spends more time in the repair shop than on the road. Repeated breakdowns, unresolved safety issues, and constant manufacturer excuses can disrupt your work, family life, and finances.
California Lemon Law exists to protect consumers in exactly these situations, but asserting those rights often requires experienced legal representation. At BLVD Law Group APC, our Sherman Oaks Lemon Law attorneys focus on holding vehicle manufacturers accountable when they sell defective vehicles and fail to honor their warranties. Lemon Law is the primary focus of our practice. We also assist clients with property damage and personal injury matters when those issues arise from vehicle defects or related accidents, though those areas are secondary to our Lemon Law work.
We proudly serve Sherman Oaks, the San Fernando Valley, and all of Los Angeles County. Our firm also builds location-specific pages so clients searching for local legal help can find clear, relevant information tailored to their community.
Why Sherman Oaks Clients Choose BLVD Law Group APC
When a manufacturer refuses to take responsibility for a defective vehicle, the legal process can feel intimidating. Large automakers have teams of lawyers whose goal is to minimize payouts and delay resolutions. Clients in Sherman Oaks choose BLVD Law Group APC because we understand how those manufacturers operate and how to challenge them effectively.
Clients rely on our firm because we offer:
A Practice Focused on California Lemon Law
Lemon Law is not an occasional service for our firm. It is a core focus. We stay current on California statutes, court decisions, and manufacturer tactics so we can build strong cases from the start.
Insight From the Defense Side
Our founder’s experience working at top defense firms gives us insight into how manufacturers and insurance companies evaluate claims, assess risk, and decide when to settle or fight. That knowledge allows us to anticipate their strategies and respond proactively.
Personalized, Client-First Advocacy
Behind every Lemon Law case is a person whose daily life has been disrupted. We take the time to understand each client’s situation, explain their options clearly, and keep them informed throughout the process.
No Upfront Attorney Fees for Many Lemon Law Cases
In qualifying Lemon Law cases, California law requires manufacturers to pay the consumer’s attorney fees. This allows many clients to pursue their claims without worrying about out-of-pocket legal costs.
A Results-Oriented Approach
Our goal is always to secure the best possible outcome, whether that means a vehicle buyback, replacement, or financial compensation that reflects the inconvenience and losses you have endured.
From Ventura Boulevard to residential neighborhoods throughout Sherman Oaks, our team is committed to protecting consumer rights and restoring peace of mind.
Understanding California Lemon Law
California Lemon Law, formally known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, provides powerful protections for consumers who purchase or lease vehicles that turn out to be defective. The law requires manufacturers to repair warranty-covered defects within a reasonable number of attempts. If they fail to do so, the consumer may be entitled to significant remedies.
Lemon Law applies to many types of vehicles, including:
The law is designed to ensure that consumers are not forced to keep unsafe or unreliable vehicles simply because a manufacturer refuses to take responsibility.
What Qualifies as a Lemon in California
Many Sherman Oaks drivers wonder whether their vehicle qualifies as a lemon. While every case is unique, several common factors often indicate a valid Lemon Law claim.
A vehicle may qualify if:
- The same defect has been subject to multiple repair attempts without success
- The vehicle has been out of service for an extended period of time
- A defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
- The issue is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty
Common defects include:
- Engine or transmission failures
- Electrical or software malfunctions
- Brake system defects
- Steering or suspension problems
- Infotainment and navigation system failures
- Hybrid or electric vehicle battery issues
Our Sherman Oaks Lemon Law attorneys review repair orders, service records, warranty documents, and vehicle history to determine whether your claim meets legal requirements.
Lemon Law Presumptions and Repair Attempts
California law includes presumptions that can strengthen a Lemon Law claim. While these presumptions are not required to bring a claim, they often help demonstrate that a manufacturer has had a reasonable opportunity to repair the vehicle.
Presumptions may apply when:
Even if your situation does not fit neatly into these categories, you may still have a valid claim. Manufacturers often argue technicalities, which is why legal guidance is critical.
Benefits Available to Sherman Oaks Lemon Law Clients
When a vehicle qualifies under California Lemon Law, consumers may be entitled to meaningful remedies designed to make them whole.
Potential benefits include:
Vehicle Buyback
The manufacturer may be required to repurchase the vehicle. This typically includes reimbursement for the down payment, monthly payments, registration fees, and certain incidental costs, minus a limited mileage offset.
Replacement Vehicle
In some cases, consumers may choose a comparable replacement vehicle instead of a buyback.
Cash Compensation
Some claims resolve through financial settlements that compensate the consumer for diminished value, inconvenience, and related losses.
Reimbursement of Incidental Expenses
Consumers may recover costs such as towing fees, rental car expenses, and other out-of-pocket costs caused by the defect.
Manufacturer-Paid Attorney Fees
In qualifying cases, the manufacturer must pay the consumer’s reasonable attorney fees and costs.
Our firm works to maximize these benefits while minimizing stress for our clients.
