My name is Jessica Anvar, and I am a California lemon law attorney committed to supporting drivers burdened by the frustration and safety risks of a defective vehicle.
I know how intimidating it feels to go up against a giant like Ford when your car is constantly in the shop.
Because not every firm has the technical “know-how” to challenge Ford’s legal teams, I’ve hand-picked four of the best California lemon law attorneys (excluding myself).
These experts specialize in the specific engineering defects that trigger California’s consumer protections and have the ability to secure buybacks owners deserve.
Most people would agree that the best way to find a lemon lawyer lawyer is to get a personal referral from someone they know and trust.
In reality though, not everyone knows a lemon law expert personally. Consider the list below a personal referral from me.
If you are struggling with a defective vehicle, you will be in extremely capable hands with any of the California Ford lemon law attorneys listed below.

Ford Lemon Law FAQs
Does a recall count as a repair attempt?
Usually, yes. If Ford performs a recall repair and the issue continues, that visit can count as a repair attempt under California Lemon Law.
What if I bought my Ford used?
You may still qualify if the defect occurred while the vehicle was under the original factory warranty.
How much does a Ford Lemon Law Attorney cost?
Nothing out of pocket. Under California law, Ford pays the attorney’s fees if your claim is successful.
