This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend Lemon Law Group!

I had a frustrating experience with my Range Rover, which started having serious issues just two weeks after I bought it. The car spent over a month in the dealership’s shop, and I had to return 5 or 6 times for the same problem. When I asked Land Rover to take the car back, they refused. That’s ...when I contacted Arthur at the Lemon Law Group. From the very beginning, he was extremely responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Not only did they successfully get my money back, but they also secured a $40K penalty from Land Rover! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.If you’re dealing with ongoing vehicle issues after purchasing from a dealership, I highly recommend Lemon Law Group. Their expertise and dedication made all the difference in my case!

Excellent Attorney

As a business owner, I have dealt with many attorneys, but never seen a such a nice person like Mr. Obolsky. Arthur resolved one of our case, then we had another issue from a dealer who had deceived us by selling us a car that had been in an accident but made us signed the docs, by stating it was ...only a small issue. Case was very complicated but Thanks to Arthur for doing such a great job. He was very informative and was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. He always kept us informed of what was going on with our case. The process was painless and payment was prompt. Again, Thank you very much for your precious time that you had spent with us anytime we had any questions/concerns.

Lemon Law Win

We had a terrible experience with our convertible car top. After something like 8 unsuccessful repair attempts in a year, this reputable German luxury auto dealer/mfg literally just blew us off. Unbelievable. All we wanted was our car fixed. After all that and out of principle, we decided to ret...ain an attorney. After researching local attorneys with real lemon law experience/wins, we retained Anthony Sperber and Arthur Obolsky. No promises that it would be easy, or would be a slam dunk. It ended up being easy. Our case was solid, and our attorneys handled the case flawlessly. A bit of a wait after filing and then movement. Mercedes went back and forth with scant offers until they finally agreed to buy the car back, cover all qualifying ownership costs, attorney fee's etc. Awesome. Arthur/Anthony got us everything we asked for and made it as stress free as possible. I found the way that they handled the case, our questions, provided helpful opinions/input, all helped to make it a "pleasurable" experience. I highly recommend these attorneys.

Two thumbs up for Arthur J. Obolsky!

Arthur was VERY informative and was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. He always kept me apprised of what was going on with my case. His council was just what we needed to win this case! The process was painless and payment was prompt. Thanks, again, Arthur, for helping my mother and I w...in our "lemon" case!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Arthur treated my case with care, he broke down the case and explained everything he was doing. He sent me prompt communication about my case and got me a positive settlement. I would recommend him to family and friends. He even gave me updates on weekends via email and by phone. It was a pleasure wo...rking with him, especially because my case was fairly stressful. Thanks for everything Arthur!
