Lemon Law Arbitration

I came to Mr. Kaleel after losing an BBB arbitration case against Ford for our brand new F150 King Ranch truck. I had the truck in the shop multiple times and finally filed for the Lemon Law and followed all the appropriate steps to take the vehicle to the BBB arbitration for a repurchase. Even tho...ugh the problem with the vehicle continued to exist, the arbitrator failed to award the repurchase. I rejected the decision and started looking for representation. I called many law offices and most everyone wanted to pursue Ford with a warranty claim. Mr. Kaleel was the only one I found willing to pursue the claim to arbitration under the Lemon Law. I hired him and he took the time to go over all the accumulated documents up to that point, and he was extremely helpful and thorough as he gathered the necessary information to win the case. He could not believe that the arbitrator from the BBB did not award the buyback and was confident that we would get the repurchase from the Attorney General Arbitration Board. He soon drafted a letter to Ford and the Attorney General Lemon Law office with the intent to move forward with the arbitration. We immediately got a response from Ford that they would repurchase our vehicle! After a few weeks of dealing with Ford's counsel, which we found very difficult, Mr. Kaleel was able to negotiate an amazing deal that we were very happy with. Ford, although they didn't have to, payed most of the Attorney's fees as well! Although I wish I could have avoided the entire Lemon Law experience, I would not hire anyone else to go up against a giant company like Ford. Mr. Kaleel did an excellent job and it was an outstanding win! I highly recommend his services if you are in a similar situation.

Deed

Mr. Kaleel did an excellent job in handling my case. After some communications gaps with US Legal Services, all went smooth and everything was explained.

Lemon Law Buyback

My husband and I were in the market for another car when we found a great deal on a used car. We were told by the dealership that it was deemed a lemon due to speaker issues but said nothing about any other issues with the car. Almost a year to date of buying the car it was in the shop with engine is...sues. We are responsible car owners and kept up with regular maintenance so this came as a complete shock. We are a young couple so we didn't have the 10k it would have taken to replace the engine. We were devastated and out of options. It was then we decided to talk to a lawyer. I did some research and found Josh. After we met him he immediately began working and took control of the situation. We knew nothing about the laws surrounding lemon law buybacks until we talked to Josh. The dealership that we bought the car from deceived us when we bought the car; it wasn't a speaker issue it was an engine issue. They didn't provide the proper documentation or information to us and forged our signatures on paperwork. We would have never known any of that if it wasn't for Josh. The whole process took about nine months. We ended up having our car paid off and the car payments that we paid to date reimbursed by the crooked dealership. Josh was empathetic and professional throughout the whole process. He knew exactly what to do to get the job done.

an excelent attorney, Very

Very informative-took care of my problem and was warm and friendly and very professional in knowledge of my case. I felt I had made a friend not just an attorney . He kept me updated and consulted with me while it was pending. Thank you attorney Joshua Kaleel for your help. Mrs. Bova

Intelligent, articulate FIGHTER!

I hired Josh to represent my interests in a contract dispute with very aggressive time constraints, and he resolved the matter in a remarkable amount of time. From the initial telephone call (which gave me an instant comfort level for his general intelligence) to the time I met with him in his office..., I felt "taken care of" at every step. While I had a positive outcome to my case, I will say that Josh provided me with a comprehensive expectation of both best and worst case scenarios - I was prepared for the worst, but we did in fact "win". Although my experience with lawyers is limited to maybe 3 or 4 occasions in my lifetime, Josh is without a doubt the most thorough and articulate of the bunch. He is confident without being overbearing, and he doesn't talk "over your head" - he made me feel like my personal and legal concerns were taken into consideration, and he talked me through the strategy he planned to take. While I hope that I don't have to utilize his services again, I am so happy to know that he is there if I need him!
