Joseph helped me with a Hummer lease buyback. I was totally new to this never had a lemon vehicle before and he made the process easy! He was very quick to respond to any questions I had and the offer was better than expected from GM. Will definitely refer him to any friends or family if they have a new vehicle issue.

I had an outstanding experience with Joseph Kaufman & Associates. My vehicle was a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport that I purchased brand-new. From the start, I dealt with an excessive number of recalls that made ownership a constant frustration. After one too many issues, I decided to reach out and see what my options were. I'm so glad I did. Joseph Kaufman & Associates handled everything professionally and efficiently. In the end, I received the full price of my vehicle plus additional compensation -- far more than I expected. I've already moved on and purchased a new car, which I couldn't have done without their help.

Negotiating WIZARD!!! This review cannot began to say how PRICELESS Joe's services are when having a Lemon for a car. We contacted Car company Dodge Stellantis about buy back of Dodge Hornet due to multiple service repairs involving computer windowsield sensors, brakes, batteries etc. They refused to purchase car back. We were advised by friends to contact Joe Kaufman, "He will help you!" We contacted Joe and staff via email and they promptly returned information on how to proceed. Joe and his team provided clear and precise instructions on all stages of the proceedings. They are so easy to work with from afar- the communication was prompt with staff and Joe. Joe also helped us emotionally by taking calls and keeping us moving forward when it was pretty frustrating dealing with all the repairs. Joe was able to mediate a FANTASTIC settlement from FCA. We did not have to go to court due to Joe's Negotiating skills. We cannot thank him and his staff enough on the priceless services and assistance. We received fantastic and fair settlement!! Joe, Melissa and Staff are AMAZING!!! IF you have a Dodge Hornet or any other of the numerous cars that are Lemons' CONTACT JOE KAUFMAN AND ASSOCIATES!! They will help!:)

I have employed law firms several times in the past for various purposes. Never have I received such a high level of service as I have with Joseph Kaufman. Joe communicated personally with me at every stage of the Lemon Law legal process, explaining it thoroughly and letting me know what to expect. Joe expertly questioned the manufacturer's representatives in deposition and caused them to make a key admission in my case that led to a great settlement. I was once represented by a highly prestigious law firm in a wrongful termination case where the stakes were much higher. Compared with this firm, I believe Joe's firm put more effort and professionalism into my case and were truly concerned about my situation. I couldn't have asked for better representation!

After hitting a dead end with GM, who showed zero interest in helping me with my vehicle issues, I turned to Joseph Kaufman & Associates. From start to finish, the team handled every detail--all I had to do was provide the necessary documentation. They even went the extra mile by accompanying me to the dealership for the final vehicle surrender. Although the process was lengthy, I was kept informed every step of the way. Ultimately, I received a settlement nearly 50% higher than my original purchase price. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. A huge thank you to Maria and Melissa for their incredible support!

I had an outstanding experience with Joseph Kaufman & Associates. My vehicle was a 2020 Jeep Wrangler that I purchased brand-new and drove for 5 years and about 50,000 miles. I had actually requested a lemon buyback two years into ownership due to numerous issues, but the automaker refused. After one final major issue arose, I decided to contact Joseph Kaufman & Associates -- and I'm so glad I did. They took my case right away, and Christopher Hunt was the attorney assigned to me. Chris explained everything thoroughly at every step and always made sure I understood the process. His professionalism, patience, and attention to detail really stood out. The settlement Chris was able to secure for me was far beyond anything I could have imagined. After years of frustration with my Jeep, Joseph Kaufman & Associates finally brought me relief. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a lemon law issue -- they exceeded all my expectations.

Joe was AMAZING at what he does! I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. The entire process was smooth and the settlement was much greater than I expected. For any lemon law issues, I strongly recommend working with Joe.

Working with Joseph Kaufman & Associates (Scott Sanchez and Melissa), has been a great experience. They took the time to explain all aspects and details as my case went through the process. From beginning to end they kept me updated. My case was not only won, but with a settlement that exceeded by expectations.

From my initial call, Joe gave me an idea of what documents I needed to have in order to get my case started. He personally called to give me updates and worked to get the best realistic outcome on my lemon law case. I recommend him 100%!
Open/Close Menu Easy Lemon Law Resolution for California Lemon Car Owners
Chevrolet lemon law

The Chevrolet Cruze is a popular compact vehicle due to its sporty looks and affordability. Unfortunately, for many consumers, the benefits the Cruze provides is quickly outweighed by its issues with reliability. Common concerns with the Cruze include but are not limited to:

– Check engine lights
– Excessive oil consumption
– Harsh shifting of the transmission
– Coolant leaks
– Water pump failures
– Turbo failures

At the forefront of these issues is an overheating issue connected to a pinhole size leak in the Chevy Cruze water pumps. We have seen Chevy dealers perform repairs related to replacement of the coolant reservoir, the coolant hoses, the thermostat, and of course the water pump. These defects often return, resulting in multiple repair attempts for serious engine issues that impact the life of Chevy Cruze vehicles. If you have had water pump, overheating, or coolant issues, and if your Chevy Cruze was purchase or leased and serviced in California, we can help with your lemon law claim. We have helped many Chevy Cruze owners with overheating issues obtain buybacks under California’s lemon law.

If you are experiencing these issues or any other concerns, then we encourage you to take the vehicle to an authorized GM dealership for repairs. If you have already taken the vehicle to an authorized GM dealership then filing a lemon law claim may be right for you. California’s lemon law is among the strongest in the nation and is designed to protect your rights by requiring car companies, like GM, to repurchase qualifying vehicles. Your vehicle may qualify for a repurchase if you have taken it in for repairs on at least two occasions. California’s lemon law also contains an attorney fee-shifting provision which means that your fees and costs are paid for by the car company.

If you have a 2013-2020 Chevrolet Cruze and have experienced concerns like those mentioned above, please reach out to us for a free case evaluation. We will be happy to review your case and determine if we can help.
