You get both: Lemonaid Firm's federal expertise plus a Georgia-admitted attorney on the local docket. If your vehicle has been in the shop too many times for the same defect, your manufacturer may owe you a cash settlement under Georgia's lemon law AND/or the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Cash in hand

You keep your vehicle. The manufacturer pays you cash for diminished value. We seek to have the manufacturer pay our attorney fees separately under federal warranty law — they don't come out of your settlement.

You keep the car. You keep the cash.

We don't push buybacks or replacements. We pursue cash settlements under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-780 (Georgia Lemon Law) and federal MMWA. You stay in your vehicle. We get a check from the manufacturer. That's it.

Georgia lemon law FAQs

Real questions Georgia consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Georgia lemon law cover used vehicles?+

O.C.G.A. § 10-1-780 (Georgia Lemon Law) primarily covers new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA) frequently extends to used vehicles that came with any written warranty — manufacturer remaining warranty, certified pre-owned warranty, or a dealer's used-car warranty. We evaluate whether your case fits state law, federal MMWA, or both.

How many repair attempts does Georgia require?+

Georgia's statutory presumption: 3 repair attempts OR 30 days out of service in first 24 months / 24,000 miles. Federal MMWA does not set a fixed number — it requires a 'reasonable opportunity' for the manufacturer to repair, which is fact-specific.

Do I have to arbitrate before suing in Georgia?+

Georgia arbitration rules: Georgia Office of Consumer Protection administers the state arbitration program. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

Who pays my attorney fees in a Georgia lemon law case?+

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. O.C.G.A. § 10-1-780 (Georgia Lemon Law) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.

Can Lemonaid Firm represent me directly in Georgia?+
