About

Kimmel & Silverman PC is an Ohio-based automotive consumer protection law firm serving drivers throughout the state who are saddled with defective vehicles. Based in Beavercreek, the firm concentrates exclusively on lemon law claims and related warranty disputes, offering free legal representation to qualifying consumers.

The firm handles cases under Ohio's Lemon Law, which provides relief when a vehicle suffers from defects that cannot be repaired after three or more attempts by an authorized dealership, or when a vehicle spends thirty or more calendar days in the shop during its first year. The law covers new cars, SUVs, and non-commercial motor vehicles, including motorcycles, leased vehicles, and recreational vehicles. Potential remedies include a full vehicle repurchase, a replacement vehicle, or monetary compensation reflecting the vehicle's diminished value due to defects and repair history.

For consumers whose vehicles fall outside Ohio Lemon Law parameters, Kimmel & Silverman also pursues claims under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which extends protection to used vehicles and applies when warranty repairs have not been completed efficiently or effectively.

The firm's cost structure is designed entirely around consumer protection. Both Ohio Lemon Law and the Magnuson-Moss Act contain fee-shifting provisions that require manufacturers to pay all attorney fees and costs if the consumer prevails. This means clients pay nothing out of pocket, regardless of outcome. Prospective clients contact the firm through its 1-800-LEMON-LAW hotline.

The practice is led by attorneys Craig Thor Kimmel and Robert M. Silverman, supported by counsel Angela K. Troccoli and Jacqueline C. Herritt. The firm maintains that its straightforward approach and experience give consumers equal footing against large manufacturers. Client reviews consistently praise the attorneys' expertise and responsiveness, with consumers reporting satisfaction both with the legal process and the outcomes achieved.
