How Long Does The Lemon Law Take?

Car companies are supposed to repurchase or replace lemon vehicles promptly, but they rarely do.  While occasionally a lemon law claim may be resolved in 30 days, it is more likely that a lemon law claim may take 3 to 6 months to be fully resolved. Some cases can take even longer as car companies often refuse to repurchase or replace lemon law vehicles and have to be forced to do so through litigation.

Fortunately for California consumers, California’s lemon law has a provision that requires the car company to pay the consumer’s attorney’s fees and costs, making California courtrooms accessible for all Californians.
