About

Lemon Law Man APC represents consumers throughout California in vehicle defect claims under state lemon law. Led by attorney Raymond Velarde, the firm handles cases against all major automotive manufacturers, from domestic brands like Ford, Chevrolet, and GM to imports including Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Tesla, and many others.

Raymond Velarde brings a distinctive perspective to consumer advocacy. He earned his law degree from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, where he participated in the Hale Moot Court Honors Program, Trial Advocacy Program, and Peer Mentorship Program. During law school, he completed externships with the United States Navy Judge Advocate General Corps, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, and Kia Motors America—an experience that ignited his interest in lemon law. Before founding Lemon Law Man APC, Velarde worked as an attorney for a defense firm representing auto manufacturers in lemon law disputes. That experience on the manufacturer side gives him direct insight into how car companies evaluate and defend these claims, knowledge he now applies on behalf of consumers to achieve stronger settlements and outcomes.

The firm has successfully resolved hundreds of cases, each resulting in compensation for clients. Lemon Law Man APC handles three primary forms of relief: cash settlements, vehicle replacements, and manufacturer buybacks. To qualify for protection under California's lemon law, a vehicle typically must have been brought to the dealership at least twice for the same defect.

A key advantage of pursuing a lemon law claim through Lemon Law Man APC is that California law requires auto manufacturers to pay the prevailing consumer's attorney fees and costs. This means clients pursue their claims at no personal expense—the manufacturer covers legal costs if the case is successful.

The firm operates from its office at 700 South Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles and serves clients statewide. Prospective clients can request a free case evaluation by calling or texting 626-671-5699 to discuss whether their vehicle qualifies and what compensation may be available.
