About

New York Lemon Law, based in Bellmore, has been representing consumers in lemon law cases since 2003. The firm, operating as Krukas & Vicario, brings over two decades of dedicated experience to vehicle defect disputes across New York State and New York City.

Attorney Eugene Krukas and his team have successfully resolved thousands of lemon law claims, focusing on vehicles with persistent defects that manufacturers have failed to repair adequately. The firm's approach centers on individualized client service and thorough case preparation. Rather than treating each matter as routine, the attorneys commit to providing the same level of attention and respect they would expect for themselves, with a priority on returning calls and inquiries promptly.

The firm handles a broad range of defect scenarios. Recent cases illustrate their experience across manufacturers and issue types: a GMC Yukon with an infotainment display failure that required extensive repair time; a Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 plagued by sunroof rattle affecting multiple repair visits; and an Acura electric vehicle with persistent charging system defects that necessitated formal arbitration. The team is equally experienced with manufacturer refusal-to-repair situations, where dealerships decline to address known problems or where disputes extend over extended periods.

Client testimonials reflect successful outcomes across different vehicle brands. One client, frustrated after a dealership was unwilling to help with a Ford lemon, credited a brief online search with connecting them to the firm and ultimately receiving compensation they never expected. Another praised Krukas's capable handling of a Lincoln defect claim from start to finish. A third client noted that after Chrysler and Jeep refused repurchase for over a year, the firm's arbitration preparation proved decisive in securing the manufacturer's agreement to repurchase after eighteen months of dispute.

Beyond case representation, New York Lemon Law provides educational resources to help consumers understand their rights. The firm publishes information on topics including sales tax refunds following a lemon law repurchase (a benefit many consumers overlook), the role of government warranty guarantees, and the mechanics of New York's lemon law statute itself. These materials reflect the firm's commitment to informed consumer advocacy.

The firm operates on a contingency basis for qualifying cases, meaning clients do not pay attorney fees unless their claim succeeds. This arrangement aligns the firm's interests with those of consumers seeking resolution.
