About

Neale & Fhima is a San Diego-based law firm specializing in lemon law claims for consumers who have purchased defective vehicles. The firm represents clients against major auto manufacturers under California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, which entitles buyers of defective vehicles to either a manufacturer buyback, replacement, or cash settlement.

The firm's practice focuses on vehicles with chronic mechanical or electrical defects—including faulty engines, broken navigation and radio systems, and electrical problems—that persist despite repeated repair attempts by authorized dealers. Neale & Fhima represents clients with new vehicles still under the original manufacturer's warranty, as well as used and certified pre-owned vehicles that retain transferrable manufacturer warranties. The firm also handles lemon law claims for trucks, vans, SUVs, motorcycles, and certain recreational vehicles under 10,000 pounds.

A key advantage of pursuing a lemon law claim through Neale & Fhima is the firm's fee structure: because California law requires manufacturers to pay the legal costs of successful claims, clients pay nothing out of pocket. This consumer-friendly arrangement means that car owners can recover their full award without deductions for attorney fees. The firm reports a 99% success rate in lemon law cases and has recovered over $50 million for its clients.

Neale & Fhima operates multiple offices throughout California, including locations in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Irvine, and Dana Point. The legal team includes Attorney Aaron Fhima and other experienced lemon law attorneys who work to navigate the technical requirements of California's lemon law statutes. These requirements include confirming that the vehicle was under warranty at the time of the first repair attempt, that the defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety, and that repairs have been unsuccessful after a reasonable number of dealer attempts.

Prospective clients can contact Neale & Fhima for a free consultation by calling 888-407-2955 to discuss their vehicles and determine eligibility for a lemon law claim.
