We’ll match you with the right attorney at no cost to get started.
Why Do You Need a Lemon Law Attorney in Virginia?
Virginia’s Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Va. Code § 59.1-207.9 to § 59.1-207.17) covers new motor vehicles for 18 months from delivery, and provides for refund or replacement when the manufacturer cannot repair a nonconformity after 3 attempts (1 for a safety defect likely to cause death or serious injury), or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 cumulative calendar days. Virginia’s 3-attempt and 1-attempt safety presumptions, combined with the 30-calendar-day count, make Virginia among the more consumer-friendly states. The Virginia Consumer Protection Act (Va. Code § 59.1-204) authorizes treble damages for willful violations. An experienced attorney layers these statutes with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301).

How Much Do Virginia Lemon Law Attorneys Cost?
Out of pocket — state law shifts your attorney fees to the wrongdoer. You keep your full recovery.
Virginia’s Lemon Law (Va. Code § 59.1-207.14), the Virginia Consumer Protection Act (§ 59.1-204, with 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. Most Virginia lemon law attorneys take cases with no fee deducted from the consumer’s refund or replacement.
