Attorney, Law firm, Legal services in Los Angeles, CA
A California lemon law and consumer protection practice representing vehicle owners against auto manufacturers, with cases handled at no cost to clients because manufacturers are required to pay attorney's fees and costs under state lemon law. Possible outcomes include a cash settlement, a replacement vehicle, or a lemon law buyback, and free case evaluations are offered by phone or text. The firm has handled claims involving most major brands, including BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Mercedes, Nissan, Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen.
Founder and principal attorney Raymond A. Velarde previously worked at a defense firm handling lemon law cases directly for auto manufacturers before switching to representing consumers, and says that background shapes how he anticipates manufacturers' strategies. He has since resolved hundreds of cases for California consumers. Velarde earned his JD at the USC Gould School of Law, where he took part in the Hale Moot Court Honors Program and Trial Advocacy Program and externed with the US Navy JAG Corps, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, and Kia Motors America, and holds a BA from UNLV.
