Lemon Law Help

Doug and team helped me with a lemon law case I had recently with a car I was having repeat trouble with. Doug's knowledge and expertise helped to remedy my issue and get my money back! I would highly recommend his firm for anything Lemon Law!

Truly Exceptional

Doug is exceptional. He made me feel like a priority and had no hesitation in going the extra mile to make things as clear and as smooth as possible. He's so friendly and easy to get a hold of too. I seriously felt like I was his only client! A++ customer service. He took care of the entire process f...or me from A to Z. He knows the industry inside and out and was quick and legally aggressive with the other side when he needed to be. It's like having a family member on your side. Such an awesome experience - he turned my lemon to lemonade. :) Just signed my refund check and off to get a new truck tomorrow (yes, different make). Fingers crossed it works out with this one, but if it doesn't, I know EXACTLY who to call. 10/10!!!

Amazing and professional Lemon Law Attorney!

Doug was a pleasure to work with! He was very professional and clear about my situation with my vehicle. I had owned a 2009 BMW M3 and it was a nightmare from the date of purchase. Doug sat down with me, explained the process in its entirety and the time line involved. After reviewing the facts D...oug took the case, was able to get my money back and buy back my car! My wife and I have had way to many headaches regarding this vehicle and all along it was a Lemon. Doug saved our marriage lol jk but he did save us a lot of future headaches :-) Thanks again for everything Doug! For anybody reading this...this was the first time I've ever gone through this process and Doug made it smooth as possible. I will recommend Sohn & Associates to any of my friends or family should they ever encounter the horror of buying a lemon!

Excellent outcome

Doug represented us in a lemon law claim and got us exactly what is allowed per law. We are pleased with the outcome and it was a painless process once Doug got involved and took over discussions with the manufacturer. Would highly recommend Doug Sohn.

I managed to get all my money back in a couple months. I highly recommend working with Doug Sohn if you ha...ve need help with the Lemon Law.
