Do I have to pay attorney's fees up front?

Accepted Answer

No. The Lemon Law requires the manufacturer to pay the consumer’s attorney's fees and costs if the consumer prevails. The consumer pays nothing. In most cases, the Scott Law Group PC takes cases on a contingency fee basis and agrees to collect its fees directly from the manufacturer if the consumer prevails or settles their claim.
