Can't Say Enough Good!!

When I first reached out to Doug, I was frantic, as I had already wasted time getting bad advice from another firm. Doug and his team understood my urgency and responded in kind. They have been patient with me, clear with what to expect and aggressive with my case. They set me on the right track ...as far as what I should expect and explained the whole process. Once the paperwork and info were completed, they completely took over. I never had to do anything but wait to hear from them. The office staff was also very professional and kind (big thanks to Eivie for always following up when I lagged!!). These people are the real deal and the kind of people you need to guide you through this process! Thank you Doug & team!!

Doug got me my money back!

Do you think you have a lemon of a vehicle? **********CALL DOUG SOHN!********* He and his staff are super nice and really pay attention to every detail, and they made this process so easy for me. I leased a beautiful new 2022 RAM 1500 right off the showroom floor. But within just a few hund...red miles I was already taking it in for repairs. I took it in 9 or 10 times in less than two years. Thankfully, I have a lemon-law lawyer in the family, so I called Doug to see if I had a case. He had me gather every work order (pre-work) and invoice (post-repair) and email them to him. The service department didn’t have any problem emailing copies to me, either. THAT made everything so much easier, too. I did have a case, and in a phone consultation, Doug walked me through the process. The whole process took about 6 months. And now I have a small chunk of change that I had not expected to have. Contact Doug Sohn if you think you have a lemon.

Highly Recommend

Purchased a new car about a year ago and was getting frustrated with always having to take it into service. Eventually, one of my family members referred me to San Diego Lemon Law. I explained my situation to attorney Doug and he assured me that we would be able to get my car bought back by the deale...rship. Attorney Doug was committed to helping me every step of the way. His professionalism, knowledge, and experience were evident from day 1 and instilled great confidence within me that I had made the right choice. Him and his team were great at following up and keeping me informed on the status of the case, and I couldn’t be happier with the resolution. I highly recommend giving San Diego Lemon Law a call.

Doud represented me in a Lemon Law case against MBZ successfully. Even the manufacturers rep said Doud is the best LLL out there. Why would you have anyone else take your case? Troy

Highly recommended

The company we purchased our vehicle from was a nightmare since the beginning. We are so grateful that we found attorney Doug and his staff at San Diego Lemon Law, to assist in the whole process of our case. They are very professional, helpful, polite, respectful, communicated well, and were always... willing to take our calls and answer any questions we had. They made the process feel a lot easier and less stressful for us. Thank you, Doug and staff, for all your great work! We highly recommend them!
