Consumer Protection and Lemon Law
Consumer cases usually turn on documents, dates, and a defendant that can be held accountable.
The first review focuses on the transaction, what was promised, repair or complaint history, notices, measurable loss, and the responsible business.
When this may fit
Start with a fact pattern, not a conclusion.
A page cannot decide whether a claim exists. These are the kinds of facts that help the firm decide whether a closer review is appropriate.
The responsible seller, manufacturer, lender, or business can be identified
The loss and requested resolution can be explained
Evidence to preserve
Keep the records that make the chronology testable.
Contracts, advertisements, disclosures, warranties, and finance records
Preserve the original, note where it came from, and keep a simple date index. Do not send sensitive records through a public form.
Repair orders, complaint history, notices, emails, and call notes
Preserve the original, note where it came from, and keep a simple date index. Do not send sensitive records through a public form.
Payment records, loss calculations, and the business's written response
Preserve the original, note where it came from, and keep a simple date index. Do not send sensitive records through a public form.
