“I highly recommend Lion Lemon lawyers! They completely took care of me and made it so I didn't have to deal with the dealership at all. They got me all my money back, including the extras that the dealer conveniently left out. Their team was very prompt, always responded quickly to my questions, and was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.”

California's Song-Beverly Act runs your refund through a specific formula: purchase price minus a mileage offset, plus finance charges and incidental damages. Punch in your numbers and see what the manufacturer should owe — including civil penalty exposure under §1794(c).
What's in the guide
- Mileage offset formula (§1793.2(d)(2)(C))
- Civil penalty up to 2× damages (§1794(c))
- The 18-month / 18,000-mile presumption
- Buyback vs replacement choice
- What dealers and manufacturers don't tell you

Case Review
Under California Civil Code §1794(d), a manufacturer that loses must pay your attorney fees — not you.
What You Can Recover
If your vehicle qualifies as a lemon, California's Song-Beverly Act gives you three possible paths.
Vehicle Buyback
A refund of your purchase price and finance charges, minus a statutory mileage offset for the miles you drove before the first repair.
Replacement Vehicle
A comparable new vehicle from the same manufacturer, with the manufacturer covering taxes, registration, and related transfer costs.
Civil Penalty
Where a manufacturer willfully violates the Act, Civil Code §1794(c) allows a civil penalty of up to two times your actual damages.
What Our Clients Say
Real outcomes from California drivers we've represented.
“Lion Lemon was extremely helpful with my lemon law case. They took on my case when other attorneys wouldn't, and I'm really grateful they were willing to help. Their team was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about defective vehicles, warranty issues, and manufacturer buyback claims. They explained the process clearly and made a stressful situation much easier.”
“I did not believe I could win my lemon law case, but Lion Lemon came through and won my case. We had all the paperwork for the many vehicle repairs, but my 2017 Kia Sedona was 9 years old. Other attorneys told us they couldn't take the case because the van was too old. It was unbelievable when Ariella told me that the car manufacturer would buy back the van. They responded to emails fast and explained the case. We were able to get the money and buy another car. I appreciate and am thankful that they took our case.”
“I had an excellent experience working with this lawyer. They were incredibly prompt with every response, which made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. I always felt heard, and they were genuinely helpful in making sure my needs were met every step of the way. What stood out most was how kind and approachable they were—never intimidating, always willing to explain things clearly and patiently.”
“I had a great experience working with Lion Lemon on my car lemon case. My vehicle had ongoing issues that the dealership couldn't fix, and I felt completely stuck before finding them. They explained the California lemon law process clearly, handled communication with the manufacturer, and kept everything moving without stress on my end. If you're dealing with a defective car, warranty issues, or a buyback situation, I highly recommend Lion Lemon.”
“I had a really good experience with Lion Lemon! I had this lemon BMW that kept giving me problems, so I reached out to them. They were super helpful and explained everything step by step. Thanks to them, I got my money back for the car. If you've got a lemon car, I definitely recommend Lion Lemon. They know what they're doing and really helped me out. Big thanks!”
“I can't imagine the process being any easier. They requested some basic info about my car and repair attempts, reached out to Tesla on my behalf, and I got my refund a month and change later.”
