Every Tesla lemon law claim is a claim against the manufacturer, not the dealer. The best attorney for you knows how Tesla cases work and costs you nothing. Here is how to choose.
Short answer: pick a firm that has handled Tesla cases, mainly does California lemon law, charges you $0, will go to trial if Tesla will not be fair, names the attorney on your case, and has real Google reviews.

What to Ask Before Hiring a Tesla Lemon Law Attorney
Have you handled Tesla cases?
Ask how many, and how Tesla, Inc. usually responds to buyback and replacement demands. A firm that knows the manufacturer's process can move faster.
What records do you need from me?
Every service invoice and note from the Tesla app or account, screenshots of warnings and update notes, and your purchase or lease agreement. Download them before they are hard to find.
Do recall repairs count?
A recall repair for the same problem you reported can count as a repair attempt. Tesla has had 70 recalls since the 2021 model year, so ask how your recall history fits your claim.
What will it cost me?
Nothing. California makes the manufacturer pay your attorney fees when you win (Civil Code section 1794(d)). With us you pay $0, win or lose.
Will you go to trial against Tesla?
We take cases to trial when a manufacturer will not resolve them fairly.

Look for Tesla case experience, a focus on California lemon law, $0 cost to you, a named attorney, quick answers, trial experience and Google reviews you can read yourself.

They can, if the recall repair was for the same problem you reported. Keep the recall paperwork with your repair orders.
