Most state lemon laws provide that the manufacturer of your vehicle must pay your reasonable Attorney fees if you have a lemon. This is a substantial benefit to consumers who have purchased defective vehicles. Think about it, a free attorney! How often does that happen.

In that regard, while this may not be the practice in every state, your attorney likely will not ask for any money from you as a retainer or out of your pocket in order to handle your lemon law claim. If your state provides for recovery of attorney fees, and if your attorney is experienced in handling these types of cases, that should be the case in most instances.

The attorney will received his/her fees directly from the manufacturer, either by means of a direct check, an order from a judge, or as a percentage of the recovery on your claim. We cannot imagine that there are more consumer friendly statutes than the various state lemon laws.
