Question 1

How do I decide which attorney to choose?

Accepted Answer

When choosing a lemon law attorney,(https://www.becklemonlaw.com/about) your first consideration should be whether they’ve tried a case to verdict—and what the results were. Few attorneys have tried cases as the lead trial lawyer, let alone recover the maximum available compensation under the law. Once you’ve identified a few candidates, choose the most communicative and trustworthy lawyer available.
 
Benjeman Beck has taken more than 15 trials to jury verdict, including recovering the maximum available on multiple occasions. The Beck Law Office prides itself on transparency, honesty and great communication: the attorney handling your case on a day-to-day basis is also your trial attorney. This personalized attention is rarely available at big law firms. Get the best of both worlds when you work with us.

Question 2

What will it cost to hire the Beck Law Office?

Nothing. California’s lemon law requires the auto manufacturers to pay all attorney’s fees. If I take your case, I’m confident that we’ll win.

Question 3

How long will my case take?

Accepted Answer

Your case’s lifespan can be anywhere from two to three months—or much longer, depending on your goals.  Some law firms will pressure you to continue, to increase attorney fees.  At the Beck Law Office, you’re in charge.
