Best Lemon Law Attorney for Leased Cars? How to Choose

California lemon law covers leased vehicles the same way it covers purchased ones. If your leased car keeps going back for the same problem, you may be able to get out of the lease and get money back, but lease cases have their own math and paperwork.

How a lemon law lease buyback works

In a typical lease buyback, the manufacturer pays off the leasing company, refunds what you paid (such as the amount due at signing and your monthly payments), minus a mileage offset, and the lease ends. The mileage offset is based on the miles when you first took the car in for the problem. Read more: Lemon law for a leased car when you still owe money.

Do not turn the car in early

Ending the lease, turning the car in or trading it in before talking to an attorney can make a claim harder. Keep making your lease payments while the case is open, and keep every repair order.

Lease end and excess mileage

If your lease is ending soon, call before you return the car. An attorney can tell you how timing affects your claim and whether lease-end charges can be part of the resolution.

What to Look For in a Lease Lemon Law Attorney

1. Handles lease buybacks regularly and explains how the leasing company gets paid off.
2. Tells you not to turn the car in or stop payments while the case is open.
3. Moves quickly if your lease is close to ending.
4. Costs you nothing. The manufacturer pays your fees when you win (Civil Code section 1794(d)). No retainer, no hourly bills.
5. Will go to trial if needed and tells you which attorney will handle your case.
6. Has real reviews you can read on Google.

Leased Cars Lemon Law FAQ

Does California lemon law cover leased cars?

Yes. Leased vehicles are covered by the Song-Beverly Act the same as purchased ones.

What do I get back in a lease buyback?

Usually the money you paid toward the lease, such as the amount due at signing and monthly payments, minus a mileage offset, and the manufacturer pays off the leasing company so the lease ends. Every case depends on its facts.

My lease ends next month. Is it too late?

Not necessarily, but call before you turn the car in. Timing can affect your claim.

How much does a lease lemon law attorney cost?

Usually nothing. California Civil Code section 1794(d) makes the manufacturer pay your attorney fees and costs when you win. At America's Lemon Lawyer you pay $0, win or lose.
