Not legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship

We are a publisher, not a law firm. The people who research and edit this site are not your lawyers, and this site's content is not reviewed by an attorney at all. Reading the site, emailing us, or following a link from it creates no attorney-client relationship with us or with any listed attorney, and nothing you send us is privileged.

No eligibility determinations

Lemon law eligibility turns on specifics: what you bought, when, what warranty applied, how many repair attempts occurred, how many days the vehicle was out of service, what notices were given, and when each clock started. This site describes the rules; it never applies them to you. No page, table cell, or tool here is a determination that any particular vehicle or claim qualifies under any statute, and no listing or advertisement is an evaluation of your case.

Deadlines: do not calculate yours from this site

Lemon law claims run on several short clocks at once: administrative filing windows, warranty periods, federal claims, and statutes of limitation, each with its own trigger event, and miscounting any of them can end a claim. Our deadline pages name each clock and its source separately, and deliberately publish no personalized countdowns. Do not rely on this site to calculate your last filing day. Confirm your dates with the agency that runs your state's program (in Texas, TxDMV) or with a licensed attorney, using your own purchase and repair records.

Laws change, and a checked date is not a guarantee

Statutes are amended and relocated (Texas recently moved its lemon-law hearing procedures to a new chapter of its administrative code), agencies change forms and fees, and courts reinterpret rules. Every legal fact that renders as an answer here carries the date it was last verified against its primary source, and our editorial policy commits to a recheck cadence, but a date tells you when a fact was checked, not that it is correct today. Always confirm against the linked primary source before acting.

Review status means exactly what it says

A fact on this site renders as an answer only after two researchers have derived it independently from the primary source and agreed; until then it reads "Research pending", which means we do not yet print an answer, not that the answer is no. A verified fact carries a stamp naming the date it was checked and linking the source it was checked against. That stamp is not attorney review, and says so on its face. It does not mean anyone here represents you, and it does not guarantee the law has not changed since the stated date.

About attorney fees and "free" representation

Advertising in this category often implies that a lemon law lawyer costs nothing. The accurate statement is longer: some lemon law and warranty statutes allow a successful consumer to recover reasonable attorney fees, and many firms offer representation with no upfront fee. Whether fees are recovered in your case depends on the statute, the forum, the outcome, and your engagement agreement. Read any fee agreement before signing it. In the Texas administrative process, you are permitted to represent yourself.

The directory is a list, not a recommendation

We do not rank attorneys, match readers with attorneys, evaluate cases, or accept any payment tied to a reader or a case, and we are not a lawyer referral service. A listing means the firm practices in this area and its license status was checked on the stated date; paid placements are labeled as advertising and kept separate from the roster. See the advertising policy.

When to get a lawyer

If real money or a real deadline is at stake, talk to a licensed attorney in your state early; consultations in this area are commonly offered at no charge, and the clocks described above keep running while you decide. If you prefer to proceed without one in a forum that allows it, the state's own program materials, which we link on every relevant page, are the authoritative starting point.
