A judge's gavel — Lemonaid Firm is a consumer-warranty practice focused on the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and state lemon laws

The story

We started because the standard lemon law playbook doesn't serve car owners well.

Most lemon law firms work toward two manufacturer-friendly outcomes: replace the vehicle or refund the purchase price minus a usage offset. Both options force you to give back the car you've been driving. Both options assume the goal is to undo the transaction, not to make you whole.

We don't think that's actually what most clients want. Most clients want to keep driving the vehicle they already have — flaws and all — and walk away with money to compensate for the headaches, the lost time, the diminished value. So we built the firm around that outcome: cash settlements that let you keep the car.

The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is what makes this approach work consistently. MMWA covers any vehicle with a written warranty — new or used, leased or owned, in or out of the state lemon law window. And MMWA lets us seek to shift attorney's fees to the manufacturer when the consumer prevails, which changes the negotiating math for the manufacturer and lets us focus settlements on the client's actual harm rather than padding for fees.

We've structured the firm around that leverage. We don't take cases where it doesn't apply. We don't drag cases out to inflate fees. We don't make clients surrender vehicles they want to keep. Cash for the client. Fees sought from the manufacturer. Car stays in the driveway.

The team

Two partners. Federal warranty depth.

Both partners are admitted to the Florida Bar with extensive federal-court experience. Joshua leads the consumer warranty practice across multiple states. Michael brings deep appellate experience in the Eleventh Circuit.

Co-Founder

Joshua E. Feygin, Esq.

Founding Attorney · Consumer Warranty Lead

Joshua founded Lemonaid Firm with a clear thesis: defective-vehicle owners should walk away with cash, not a return trip to the dealer. He leads the firm's federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and state lemon-law practice across the firm's directly-admitted jurisdictions (Florida, DC, Vermont, Alabama) and coordinates with locally-admitted co-counsel in the other 46 states.

His approach shaped the firm's client-first, cash-settlement focus in how consumer lemon-law cases are structured. Rather than push every client toward a manufacturer buyback (which surrenders the vehicle), Joshua built the firm's cash-settlement framework — the manufacturer may pay diminished value in cash, client keeps the vehicle, and the firm pursues MMWA fee-shifting so the manufacturer may pay Lemonaid Firm's fees separately from the client's recovery.

Outside the courtroom, Joshua writes about consumer warranty law for trade publications, trains other consumer-protection attorneys on the federal MMWA framework, and contributes to industry CLE programs on lemon-law litigation strategy. He is a frequent commentator on auto-defect class actions and individual MMWA claims.

Partner

Michael A. Citron, Esq.

Partner · Federal Appeals & Complex Litigation

Michael brings deep federal-court and Eleventh Circuit appellate experience to the firm's most complex cases. He has argued warranty matters at every level from initial demand letter through federal court of appeals, and he is the firm's lead on cases where manufacturers refuse reasonable settlements and force litigation through summary judgment and trial.

A Florida Bar member with extensive federal-court practice, Michael handles consumer class actions, insurance bad-faith litigation, and complex civil litigation under his sister firm MAC Legal P.A., where he serves as Founder and Managing Partner. Lemonaid Firm clients benefit from both practices when their cases warrant — the federal MMWA expertise of Lemonaid Firm combined with the class-action and appellate depth Michael brings from MAC Legal's broader civil practice.

Michael's appellate experience matters specifically for MMWA cases because the federal fee-shifting framework rests on circuit-level case law. The 11th Circuit's pro-consumer MMWA decisions — many of which Michael has written briefs on or been adjacent to — are what give the firm its leverage at the settlement table. Manufacturers know that a Lemonaid Firm case left unresolved goes through summary judgment with Michael on the briefs.

How we work

Three principles. Every case. No exceptions.

Cash, not surrender

We negotiate cash settlements so you keep the vehicle. State lemon law's replacement-or-refund options aren't the only paths. The federal MMWA gives us the lever to do it differently.

Fees sought from the manufacturer

Under MMWA's fee-shifting rule, we seek to have the manufacturer pay our attorney's fees when the consumer prevails — separately from your settlement. Your recovery is yours. We don't take a percentage of it.

Contingency representation

Pure contingency. You pay nothing out of pocket. If we don't recover for you, you don't owe us anything. We only take cases we believe we can win.

Where we practice

Six jurisdictions. One framework.

Our attorneys are admitted in six jurisdictions across the country. For states where we're not directly admitted, we partner with locally-admitted counsel to handle state-court matters — the federal MMWA applies nationally regardless of where the client lives or the vehicle was purchased.

If your case has multi-state aspects — out-of-state purchase, multi-state lease, federal-court venue choice — we know how to position it for the strongest leverage.

What we won't do

The things we refuse to do are as important as the things we do.

No surprise fees

Contingency only. We seek to have the manufacturer pay our fees under MMWA. You don't get an invoice from us, ever.

No padded cases

If your situation doesn't qualify, we tell you in the first ten minutes. We don't drag people through processes that won't pay off.

No surrendered vehicles

Our default is cash settlements. If you want to return the car, we'll structure it. Most clients don't.

No misleading promises

We never guarantee outcomes or quote recovery numbers on the first call. We tell you the honest range based on cases like yours.

FAQ

About the firm, the practice, and how we work.

What is Lemonaid Firm's focus?+

We focus on cash settlements for defective-vehicle owners under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and state lemon laws. Most of our clients keep their vehicle and walk away with cash — instead of surrendering the car for a refund or replacement. We don't do estate planning, personal injury, criminal defense, or family law. Just warranty and lemon law.

Where are Lemonaid Firm's attorneys admitted to practice?+

Florida, California, Louisiana, Vermont, Alabama, and the District of Columbia. For clients in other states, we coordinate with locally-admitted counsel — the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act applies nationally regardless of state.

Who runs Lemonaid Firm?+

Joshua E. Feygin and Michael A. Citron. Josh is the firm's co-founder, leading the consumer warranty practice. Michael is a partner with deep federal-court and appellate experience. Both are admitted to the Florida Bar; Josh adds Vermont, DC, and Alabama; Michael adds the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

How does Lemonaid Firm charge?+

Contingency. You pay no fees out of pocket. We seek to have the manufacturer pay our fees under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act's fee-shifting rule when the consumer prevails — separately from your settlement. Your recovery is yours, not reduced by attorney costs.

What makes Lemonaid Firm different from other lemon law firms?+

Cash-only positioning. Most lemon law firms work toward replacement or refund — both require you to give back the vehicle. We negotiate cash settlements that let you keep driving the car you already own. The federal MMWA gives us the leverage to make that happen consistently.

Does Lemonaid Firm handle non-vehicle warranty cases?+

Occasionally, when the case fits our framework — major appliances, RVs, boats, motorcycles. Our docket is heavily focused on motor vehicles because that's where MMWA leverage and state lemon laws overlap most cleanly. Call us; we'll tell you in the first ten minutes whether your case is a fit.
