Best Lawyer EVER!!

I contacted San Diego Lemon Law, PC after dealing with a motorhome that turned out to be a lemon. From the first call, they were knowledgeable, honest, and easy to work with. The process did take some time, but they kept me informed every step of the way and handled everything for me. In the end, the... outcome was absolutely worth it and brought huge relief. I’m very grateful for their persistence and professionalism and highly recommend San Diego Lemon Law, PC to anyone dealing with a lemon—especially a motorhome.

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…...

Audi e-Tron Lemon Law Success

Doug and his whole staff are amazing! I first called in when we became frustrated with our Audi E-Tron being in the shop for a few months. The staff made us feel more at ease and quickly started helping us get our Lemon Law case resolved. They do so many cases they knew exactly what, and how to get i...t done as quickly as possible. Within a few short months (while our car was still in the shop even at the end) it was fully resolved with Audi and we are able to put it in the rear view. Everyone in the office made the process so easy and took the stress off our plate so we could just live our lives knowing they were on the case. Hoping we never have to deal with another Lemon car again, but if we do we know just who to call to make the process smooth and stress free, Doug and his team!

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.

Owner Troy's Painting

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
