About

Georgia Lemon Law Attorneys, based in Dunwoody, represents consumers throughout Georgia who believe they have purchased defective vehicles. The firm focuses exclusively on lemon law claims, helping clients pursue remedies under both Georgia state law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Scott Fortas leads the practice and brings over twenty-five years of experience in consumer law and vehicle defect litigation. Since 1999, Mr. Fortas has handled thousands of lemon law and auto fraud claims on behalf of consumers against manufacturers and dealerships. He previously managed the Georgia division of Krohn and Moss, Ltd. from 1999 to 2005 before establishing his own practice. Mr. Fortas is a member in good standing of the Georgia Bar and has been admitted to practice before the Georgia Court of Appeals.

The firm's approach centers on removing the burden from clients. Georgia Lemon Law Attorneys handles all legal work required to pursue a claim, from filing through settlement or trial. Clients pay nothing upfront. Under the lemon law fee-shifting provision, the manufacturer covers attorney fees following a successful resolution, meaning the firm only collects payment if the case is won. Approximately 99 percent of cases settle without proceeding to trial.

Consumers may qualify for compensation under Georgia lemon law or, in cases that fall outside state guidelines, under federal consumer protection statutes. Successful claims typically result in either a new vehicle or a refund from the manufacturer. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, qualifying cases may also entitle consumers to cash compensation.

Georgia Lemon Law Attorneys begins with a free initial consultation and case evaluation. Prospective clients can call 404-737-3451 to speak with the firm at any time or submit information through the firm's online form for review. The consultation allows the firm to determine whether a client's vehicle and circumstances meet the legal requirements for pursuing a lemon law claim.

The firm represents clients in courts and administrative proceedings across Georgia and accepts cases involving vehicles from all major manufacturers.
