Why should I hire an attorney for my Virginia Lemon Law claim?

If you are experiencing ongoing problems with your new car in Virginia, you may qualify for a full refund or replacement of the vehicle under Virginia’s Lemon Law. As you begin to research how to go about making a claim, you may discover that it appears to be a do-it-yourself process. However, this may not be the approach you want to take.

What the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Says

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will direct you to the Virginia Attorney General to report your complaint. Once there, you have two options:

• The Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB administers a dispute resolution process to settle Lemon Law claims as an alternative to going to court. The BBB Auto Line Program handles complaints against most vehicle manufacturers, but may or may not be able to get you a satisfactory resolution.

• The Virginia Attorney General’s Office. If the car company you are dealing with does not work with the BBB, or the BBB cannot successfully resolve your claim, you can file a complaint with the Attorney General’s office. However, there is no guarantee that they will be able to get your money back either.

Your third option is to hire a qualified Virginia Lemon Law attorney to represent you against the auto manufacturer.
