Lemon Law Attorney - Miami

Understanding the Lemon Law in Miami

The lemon law in Miami, otherwise known as the Florida Lemon Law, applies to defects that substantially impair a vehicle’s use, value, or safety and are covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty. Per this law, manufacturers must repair any such defect within a reasonable number of repair attempts (or within a reasonable amount of time). If the company fails to do so, your vehicle is presumed to be a lemon. 

Keep in mind that there are many nuances to this law, and it’s much easier to file a claim with an experienced attorney on your side. If you’re still not sure if you qualify, reach out to Krohn & Moss, Ltd. for a free, no-obligation case review. 

How to Choose the Right Lemon Law Lawyer For Your Miami Claim

Choosing the right attorney for your lemon law case can make all the difference. When comparing lemon law lawyers, focus on these essentials:

Confirm They’re Licensed in Florida

Make sure you’re working with a lawyer who is licensed to practice in Florida and who regularly handles Florida Lemon Law claims—not just general consumer disputes. Florida’s requirements, deadlines, and arbitration rules are specific, so local experience matters. Our lawyers will happily discuss their individual experience handling lemon law cases in Florida.

Look for Florida Lemon Law Experience

Ask how many lemon law cases the firm has handled and whether they have experience with the types of defects and manufacturers involved in your situation. A lawyer with extensive lemon law experience can help you understand what qualifies, what documentation matters, and what to expect at each stage. And, most importantly, ask if they will fight your case in court if the manufacturer refuses to make a settlement offer in response to a notification letter.

Be Wary of Promises That Are Too Good to Be True

No attorney can ethically guarantee a specific compensation amount, buyback figure, or settlement timeline. A trustworthy lemon law lawyer will explain the factors that affect value—like mileage, repair history, and available remedies—without making promises they can’t control.

Choose Someone Who’s Upfront About Your Options

A good lemon law attorney should walk you through your realistic paths forward, such as informal dispute programs, Florida arbitration, or filing a lawsuit if needed. They should also explain potential outcomes (refund vs. replacement), possible reimbursement for expenses (like towing or rental cars), and what happens if the manufacturer pushes back.

Understand the Fee Structure Before You Sign

Look for a firm that clearly explains costs in writing and answers questions directly. Many lemon law cases are handled without a retainer, and you should know exactly when the firm gets paid and what you may be responsible for.

Working with Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center®

At Krohn & Moss, Ltd., we’ve dedicated our careers to protecting consumers like you. That’s why we only collect attorney fees if we secure a recovery for our client. That means if you don’t get paid, neither do we. With more than 60,000 success stories under our belt, we know precisely what it takes to prevail with a lemon law claim. 

Here’s what you can expect when you work with our team: 

1. Building a Case

We start by gathering the necessary documentation to prove your claim. Next, we’ll send a formal written notice to the manufacturer. If the issue isn’t resolved after this stage, we’ll try resolving your case through the manufacturer’s informal dispute resolution program, if one exists.

2. Arbitration

If the manufacturer doesn’t have an informal dispute resolution program, or if it doesn’t produce a satisfactory outcome, we’ll present your case to the Florida Attorney General’s arbitration board. 

3. Trial 

If necessary, we’ll even file a lawsuit against the manufacturer on your behalf. But remember—99% of our cases settle before trial. This means, in many cases, the manufacturer folds and offers a satisfactory settlement as soon as they see the case they’re up against. That’s the benefit of working with an experienced attorney like the ones at Krohn & Moss, Ltd. 

4. Compensation

In most cases, the manufacturer will offer a settlement—typically either a refund or replacement vehicle. If you win your case in court, you may also receive additional compensation for your troubles, like reimbursement for towing, rental cars, and your attorney’s fees. 

There are no guarantees in the legal system. But our track record should speak for itself. So, if you even think you have a lemon, let us review your case free of charge.
