Maine Lemon Law Lawyer — Cash-Settlement Focus

Maine Lemon Law Lawyer. Cash settlements, not return trips.

Lemonaid Firm partners with locally-admitted counsel in Maine to handle cases under Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, § 1161 (Maine Lemon Law), with Joshua E. Feygin, Esq. leading federal MMWA strategy and the local-counsel firm handling state procedural admission. You get both: Lemonaid Firm's federal expertise plus a Maine-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 Maine's lemon law AND/or the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. We file under whichever gives you the strongest leverage.

Three steps to a cash settlement in Maine.

Take the case eligibility quiz

Walk through a few quick questions about your Maine purchase, your repair history, and your warranty status. We check your facts against Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, § 1161 (Maine Lemon Law) and federal MMWA. Two minutes.

We demand the manufacturer pay

We file a formal demand citing both Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, § 1161 (Maine Lemon Law) and federal MMWA. Most demands resolve in 60–120 days. If the manufacturer ignores or lowballs, we file in D. Me. federal court; 1st Circuit on appeal.

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 Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, § 1161 (Maine Lemon Law) and federal MMWA. You stay in your vehicle. We get a check from the manufacturer. That's it.

Maine lemon law FAQs

Real questions Maine consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Maine lemon law cover used vehicles?+

Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, § 1161 (Maine 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 Maine require?+

Maine's statutory presumption: 3 repair attempts OR 15 business days out of service in first 3 years / 18,000 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 Maine?+

Maine arbitration rules: Maine Attorney General-administered 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 Maine lemon law case?+

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 10, § 1161 (Maine Lemon Law) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.
