You get both: Lemonaid Firm's federal expertise plus a Missouri-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 Missouri'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 Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.560 (Missouri New Motor Vehicle Warranty Act) and federal MMWA. You stay in your vehicle. We get a check from the manufacturer. That's it.

Missouri lemon law FAQs

Real questions Missouri consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Missouri lemon law cover used vehicles?+

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.560 (Missouri New Motor Vehicle Warranty 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 Missouri require?+

Missouri's statutory presumption: 4 repair attempts OR 30 days out of service in first year. 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 Missouri?+

Missouri arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration if certified. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

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

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.560 (Missouri New Motor Vehicle Warranty Act) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency — no fees out of your pocket.

Can Lemonaid Firm represent me directly in Missouri?+

Lemonaid Firm partners with locally-admitted counsel in Missouri to handle cases under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.560 (Missouri New Motor Vehicle Warranty Act), with Joshua E.
