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 Miss. Code § 63-17-159 (Mississippi Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act) and federal MMWA. You stay in your vehicle. We get a check from the manufacturer. That's it.

Mississippi lemon law FAQs

Real questions Mississippi consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Mississippi lemon law cover used vehicles?+

Miss. Code § 63-17-159 (Mississippi Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act) 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 Mississippi require?+

Mississippi's statutory presumption: 3 repair attempts OR 15 days out of service in first year / 12,000 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 Mississippi?+

Mississippi arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration may be required. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

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

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. Miss. Code § 63-17-159 (Mississippi Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.

Lemonaid Firm partners with locally-admitted counsel in Mississippi to handle cases under Miss. Code § 63-17-159 (Mississippi Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act), with Joshua E.
