Doug and his TEAM ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was the problem that you had before you called our law firm? I had many issues with my Vehicle but most of all trying to get a call back from an attorney was the hardest thing. So many out of area attorneys not very helpful was the WORST!!!!! Why did you pick our law firm over all the ot...her lemon law firms? I picked SAN DIEGO LEMON LAW, PC because not only did they answer my call the first time but they were extremely knowledgeable, professional but most of all caring and compassionate to my situation. What did we do for you? SAN DIEGO LEMON LAW, PC helped be through my case, answered all my questions but most of all they did the right thing and got me what was owed to me. What was the outcome? Attorney Doug and his team won my case and did it with the upmost professionalism. How did this outcome affect you? I was able to purchase another vehicle, hopefully this one works…...

Best Lemon Law Attorney Experience

I had the pleasure of working with Doug Sohn and his company when I was filing my Lemon Law. I was anxious and hesitant about filing against a big car maker anyhow (had a Blind Spot Assist manufacturer issue), let alone just choosing anyone from the internet. What I loved about Doug was that he and h...is wonderful assistant Eivie spoke to me directly each time. I wasn't passed back and forth between multiple people like I had experienced when I first inquired with a much bigger LA firm. The personalized experience I received calmed me and didn't add on to the stress of life. Everything that Doug said he would do was done in a timely manner. My Documents were able to be uploaded seamlessly, and he gave me a very accurate estimate of what I would be receiving when the case closed. In fact, I received more than expected! Timelines were explained and although you cannot control the other party, my case closed in a very reasonable amount of time. About 3-6 months less than what the bigger LA firm had quoted me. I wholeheartedly recommend Doug to anyone who is considering filing a Lemon Law. You will be in very good hands!

Don't waste your time interviewing another attorney

I spent the time to interview three different attorneys. When I found Doug I knew I had the right attorney. Who is honest and straightforward I knew exactly what I was going through. He explained me how this may go and he was 100% correct all the way through the process. I felt with two other atto...rneys they're all looking for the short quick fix on there and not on mine. I felt Doug handle it like it was a personal case to him. He took the time to review my case and make sure I would be protected all the way through the end. Like I said in the title don't waste your time dealing with another attorney Doug is the only one.
