Lemon Law 20%

Using the Lemon Law, I have represented thousands of clients - free of charge - who have purchased new and used vehicles that have experienced manufacturing defects. The Lemon Law requires that the manufacturer pay the attorney fees and court costs. The Lemon Law gives the consumer the choice of their money back, or a new replacement vehicle. Many consumers also opt for a cash settlement option to cover the loss in value of the vehicle as a result of the defects.

Lemon Law

I purchased a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica in June 2016. In August things started going wrong with just about everything. It was in and out of the dealership every month. After months of this, I contacted Chrysler to submit a case to their buy back department. Again, months went by and no resolution from t...hem. I found Troy by web searches. He was local and reviews were great. I was impressed with prompt returned calls and emails. He listened and had my best interest at heart. I truly believe without hiring him, I would still be fighting with Chrysler. He took much of the stress off my shoulders and most of all was honest with me. I can't thank him enough for his help!

Lemon Law Help

Troy was fantastic in helping me resolve my lemon law case. He explained the lemon process in great detail (and that it could drag out), but also to be patient. Whenever I had a question/comment/concern he responded very promptly and direct. I felt very confident in working with Troy and would urg...e any potential clients in the future to work with him.

Lemon Law

I found Troy by searching attorneys for the Lemon Law, l liked what I read and thought I would give him a try. It would be my first time dealing with an attorney that I had never met, however my outcome was perfect. I had a 2015 Jeep Patriot that I had purchased in January of 2015 and only had 3000 ...miles on it. I took it in twice within 30 days for the sun roof leaking, 5 times within a month because of the check engine light. They tried to fix the sunroof but the transmission was another story. The last time they had it for 30 days and had to call engineers from Auburn Hills to come out. They literally torn that vehicle apart from top to bottom. I didn't feel comfortable with the fact they said they fixed it and it fell within the Lemon Law guidelines. My dealings with Troy were very easy I could email him information, fax it to him or need be talk with him. I learned from him that I signed the arbitration agreement which I pretty much signed my rights away because I used an employee discount something people don't realize when signing all the forms for a purchase, but if you don't sign it you cannot use the discount. However, in the end with persistence on his part he was able to get Chrysler to honor the lemon law. The middle of January 2016 I was given a refund from Chrysler all but $500 for mileage and they paid him in full. I can't thank him more for what he did, I would recommend him to anyone that needs help with a lemon.

Breach of Warranty on a leased car

My wife and I had an issue with our lease of a 2013 Dodge Dart. The dealership was very slow to respond to our needs and their "offer" of compensation for the money we spent for repairs and the 9 months of hassle dealing with a car that didn't work was an insult. With Troy's help he got us over 5x wh...at the dealership initially offered us! Thank you Troy!!

Helped us get our money back from an Unresponsive Chrysler

We had a new 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 with diesel, and from day-1 there were electrical problems. During an incident when we had to leave it with a dealer for over 3-months, we considered the vehicle a "lemon" and contacted Troy based on a recommendation from our regular attorney. As a special...ist in lemon law, Troy helped us understand the basics of how the process works in Michigan. This made us feel comfortable because we knew what to expect. Unfortunately, Chrysler was very unresponsive to our initial requests which lead to us filing a suit (something that normally could be avoided). This is something that Troy explained is somewhat unusual, especially for a case like ours where the vehicle was clearly considered a lemon under Michigan's law (which, by the way, is very specific and easy to understand). The suit never made it to court as Chrysler finally "woke up" and settled by buying our car back in-full. Troy was very easy to get a hold of, by phone and email - which was helpful because we live 4-hours from his location and we never had the opportunity to meet him in person. He's an easy-going guy who clearly understands this type of law. He also has the experience understand when to make the necessary changes to your case's approach when needed. We highly recommend using Troy Gorman for a lemon law case in Michigan.
