About

Cline APC is a California-based lemon law firm dedicated exclusively to helping consumers pursue manufacturer buybacks, refunds, and compensation for defective vehicles. Founded by Brian K. Cline, who has practiced law in California since 2006, the firm brings a proven track record of success against all major auto manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors, Chrysler-Fiat, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, and others. With a 4.9-star Google rating based on 87 client reviews, Cline APC has established itself as a trusted advocate for vehicle owners across the state.

The firm operates statewide, handling lemon law claims from San Diego and Los Angeles through the Central Valley, San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and northern regions including Napa and Sonoma. The San Diego office is located at 7855 Ivanhoe Avenue, Suite 400, in La Jolla, and the firm offers flexible arrangements—clients can meet at the office or have attorneys come to them.

Cline APC focuses on the full scope of California lemon law claims under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. The firm assists consumers with defective cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs, trucks, and vans, whether newly purchased, used, bought outright, or leased. The attorneys understand that manufacturing defects—those impairing use, value, or safety—often persist despite multiple repair attempts. California's lemon law protects consumers when a vehicle cannot be repaired within a reasonable number of attempts or has spent 30 or more cumulative days in service for repairs. When these conditions are met, manufacturers are required to repurchase or replace the vehicle and cover all attorney fees and court costs.

The firm's no-upfront-cost model reflects its philosophy: clients pay nothing out of pocket because manufacturers bear the legal expenses upon case resolution. This approach stands in contrast to what the firm describes as a "cottage industry" of law firms defending manufacturers against lemon law claims. Cline APC's trial attorneys bring aggressive representation and consistent success in securing favorable outcomes against the auto industry's largest legal teams.

All initial consultations are free, and the firm invites prospective clients to call 888-982-6915 to discuss their case or submit an inquiry online. Whether a vehicle is nearly new or used, buyers who suspect they own a lemon will find experienced counsel ready to navigate California's lemon law system.
