Phenomenal Lemon Law Representation

I cannot thank this team enough for their exceptional assistance with my Lemon Law case. They guided me through every step of the process and ensured I received the resolution I needed. Debbie’s attention to detail and professionalism were truly remarkable—she made me feel supported and informed at e...very turn. And, of course, John was outstanding, offering expert advice and a steadfast commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. If you’re facing a Lemon Law issue, look no further. This team is dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven. I highly recommend their services!

Deceptive practice by Collision repair facility

After being in a car accident, I was was strongly encouraged by my insurance company to bring my vehicle to a specific collision repair shop (DRP of course). My vehicle was not returned to me for 3 1/2 months. Once returned, the vehicle was not operating correctly. I brought my vehicle to the dealer ...to find out that the majority of work, including the frame rail repair was never done, leaving me in an unsafe, undriveable vehicle! The work that had been done was shoddy at best! I hired Jonathan Rudnick to take on the insurance company and the collision repair shop. Jon is very experienced, knowledgeable, and versed in deceptive practice and consumer fraud. He hired an outstanding Expert, walked me through the entire process, and eventually landed me a settlement that I was very pleased with. His zealous approach combined with extensive knowledge enabled justice to be served with my case. I am very thankful to have hired Jon for my case, and recommend him highly!

Took advantage of by subprime loan agency

I financed a older car through a Credit Acceptance. I was duped into signing a contract that marked up the vehicle 2x it’s value. Multiple attempts to refinance or amend the loan contract proved fruitless and the vehicle was repossessed. Most of my possessions were stolen and the car was damaged. The... tow truck company and the auction yard denied responsibility; going as far to accuse me of damaging my own car. Credit Acceptance forced me to pay for a damaged vehicle, which I denied to do, having to get my bank involved. They sold the car without notice or my consent. Credit Acceptance made my life hell for two years. After months of looking for options, I came across Mr. Rudnick. Through his excellent paralegal Debbie, I sent him a lengthy brief, pictures, notices, receipts, and anything else she thought would help my case. After more months of waiting, Mr. Rudnick reached out. He kept interrupting and asking me questions I didn’t understand. He didn’t seem interested in the case and his tone was very condescending. It felt like a cross-examination. Mr. Rudnick mentioned that he wouldn’t make a decision until he received a notice to sell from Credit Acceptance, which I never received prior to them selling the car off. I waited over a month to finally get the letter in the mail. Mr. Rudnick called me today to tell me he just wasn’t interested. He claims he reviewed my evidence and dealt with Credit Acceptance before. He has a very nasty attitude and do not recommend him as a lawyer or a person.

Takata Airbag and Deceptive Automobile Practices

Jonathan Rudnick has been a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nearly impossible. Not only was Jonathan able to protect and defend us from an unjust, unfair and life threatening Takata Airbag, but the automo...bile sales group that sold us the defective product, lied repeatedly about the availability of recall resolution and deceptive practices. Jonathan’s calm, direct and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Rudnick without reservation.
