About

Kimmel & Silverman PC is the oldest, largest, and most successful lemon law firm in Pennsylvania, serving distressed drivers throughout Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania for more than three decades. Since 1991, the firm has successfully resolved more than 185,000 cases and secured more vehicle repurchases and replacements than any other Pennsylvania lemon law practice.

Based in Pittsburgh's heart, Kimmel & Silverman represents clients across Allegheny, Armstrong, Westmoreland, Washington, and Beaver counties, as well as surrounding areas including Johnstown, Erie, and Altoona. The firm handles claims under both the Pennsylvania Lemon Law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, and all representation is completely free to clients. Because both statutes contain fee-shifting provisions—meaning manufacturers must pay all attorney fees and costs when clients prevail—Kimmel & Silverman guarantees no out-of-pocket expense whether the case succeeds or not.

The Pennsylvania Lemon Law protects vehicles purchased or leased and registered in the state, covering new cars that have been taken to dealers for multiple repair attempts on defects affecting use, value, or safety, or that have spent thirty or more days out of service within the first twelve months or 12,000 miles. Qualifying clients may be entitled to a complete repurchase, including taxes, tags, down payment, and finance charges; an MSRP-to-MSRP swap with a new vehicle; or significant monetary compensation while keeping their car with no title branding and full warranty coverage intact.

The firm also assists Pittsburgh drivers who purchased used vehicles with manufacturer warranties or whose situations fall outside Pennsylvania lemon law parameters. Using the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Kimmel & Silverman pursues compensation reflecting diminished vehicle value due to unresolved warranty defects, allowing clients to keep their vehicles without disclosure obligations at trade or sale.

The firm's founding partners include Craig Thor Kimmel and Robert M. Silverman, supported by an experienced team of attorneys. Kimmel & Silverman has actively shaped Pennsylvania consumer protection law, partnering with the state to expand coverage to vehicle leases and used-vehicle title branding, and successfully lobbying for motorcycle inclusion in the Pennsylvania Lemon Law, effective in 2025.
