Information I need to hire a Lemon Law Attorney
It is a good idea to gather all records having to do with your automobile purchase/lease including the following:
1. Retail Sales Installment Contact (RSIC)
2. Loan documentation
3. All repair invoices
4. Technical Service Bulletins (TSB’s) you may have received by mail
5. Written correspondence sent/received to/from manufacturer or dealer
Steps I can take to help
It is important for consumers to insist on receiving a repair ticket for each service trip and stay organized! Keep this information in a file that can be easily located. Attorneys often use this information to prove vehicle defects, repair visits to dealer and other important information. If a dealership refuses to give consumers repair invoices, attorneys can subpoena them under court order. Some state Lemon Laws require dealers to provide repair invoices for each service.
* Your lemon law attorney may ask that you not discuss your case with anyone outside his/her office. This is good advice, since you could say something to someone else that could adversely effect your best interests.
* Consult with an experienced lemon law attorney before trading in a vehicle or speaking with a manufacturer to settle a claim.
* Consult with an experienced lemon law attorney before having an outside repair shop perform repairs that may be covered under warranty. Sometimes automobile manufacturers may claim repairs were inadequately performed, thereby voiding warranty coverage.
* Take your vehicle to the dealership every time it needs service! Although inconvenient and often a source of consumer frustration attorneys use this information to build a record, especially when a minimum amount of visits or days out of service may be required under law.
