also known as Bob Rapkin
Over the past seventeen years, as Senior Attorney for our Eastern and Western Pennsylvania offices, I have provided cost-free legal help to thousands of distressed drivers throughout the Keystone State.
Many consumers do not realize that under State Lemon Laws and Federal Warranty Laws, consumers can receive completely free legal represention thanks to fee-shifting provisions. These provisions state that if the consumer prevails, the manufacturer must pay all attorneys fees and legal costs in addition to recovery. At our firm, Kimmel and Silverman, clients pay nothing out of their pocket win or lose. Potential remedies could include a complete repurchase, a brand new vehicle, or significant monetary compensation and continued ownwership of your vehicle.
Our firm is the oldest and largest in the Northeast, offering help throughout fifiteen states. In addition to a tremedously dedicated legal team, we have three certified ASE mechanic experts on our staff, handling inspections for all of our clients at no charge.
Our efforts have been featured in numerous television programs, including Good Morning America, Nightline, the CBS Early Show, and Extra. We have also been written about in Consumer Reports, USA Today, and Kiplingers Personal Finance Magazine. We are tremendously proud to be the only firm of our kind ever honored by the American Bar Association.
If you have questions about your defective car, truck, or motorcycle, feel free to drop me a line, visit our website at or give us a call at 1-800-LEMON-LAW (). You have nothing to lose but your lemon.

Mr. Rapkin obtained a full refund for us on our 2014 Ford Focus that had transmission problems. He was very professional and honest and exceeded our expectations. Fully recommend him to anyone driving a lemon.

Mr. Rapkin managed our lemon law case. During our 8 month waiting period, Mr. Rapkin and his staff kept in contact with us and told us what to expect each step of the way. We were very happy with the outcome of our case and we would definitely recommend Mr. Robert Rapkin.
