Why Do You Need a Lemon Law Attorney in New Jersey?
New Jersey has one of the strongest consumer-protection regimes in the country. The New Car Lemon Law (N.J.S.A. 56:12-29 to 56:12-49) covers new motor vehicles for 2 years or 24,000 miles, with refund or replacement when the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 3 attempts or the vehicle has been out of service for 20 cumulative days. The Used Car Lemon Law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-67 et seq.) provides express warranties on used vehicles based on mileage — a powerful, uniquely strong used-car remedy. The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs administers state arbitration. The Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8) authorizes treble damages and attorney fees for unconscionable practices, dramatically increasing manufacturer exposure. An experienced attorney layers these statutes with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301).

How Much Do New Jersey Lemon Law Attorneys Cost?
Out of pocket — state law shifts your attorney fees to the wrongdoer. You keep your full recovery.
New Jersey’s Lemon Laws (N.J.S.A. 56:12-42), the Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-19, with mandatory treble damages), and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2310(d)(2)) are all fee-shifting — the manufacturer pays the prevailing consumer’s reasonable attorney fees on top of the recovery. New Jersey is one of the strongest consumer-protection states in the country. Most NJ lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.
