Sorry for your issues.
Lemon law is warranty law.
This seller likely did not give you a warranty, so, no lemon law claim. Sounds like you were lied to and you think you can prove this. That would be fraud. For a fraud claim, your reliance on his lies must be... View More 
I went to the dealership, secured a loan, paid a down payment, signed a contact, and brought the vehicle home. Three weeks later the dealer wants me to sign a new contact? Is this legal? Can I keep the old contact? They also want me to sign something else releasing them from any obligations and say... View More

Contract law is usually fairly simple and straightforward. Virtually any attorney can read your contract and the new proposed contract they want you to sign and the other related writings and answer your question for you.

My off road vehicle was allegedly used off the business property to get pictures taken. The vehicle was taken out of the property without permission and an employee of the business rolled it and flipped it. The vehicle was initially taken with no prior damages.

Sounds like you have a question. I'll guess it is, what can you do here?
You can make a demand of the dealer to put you back where you would
have been had this not happened. Dealer will likely reject. You will then
likely have to sue dealer in small claims court. Good luck with it!
back. I have not heard from them about the buy back but they want file suit for Chrysler contacting me in violation of cease and desist order and told me not to respond to Chrysler. Are they dragging it out to bill more fees and should go ahead and contact Chrysler myself?

So, who knows what they are thinking other than them?
It is not clear to me that THEY contact FCA for you or if you
contacted FCA on your own first and then FCA is responding
to your contact or to their's? That could make a difference.

A gift is a gift. Without title it may be hard to prove and obviously suing within family is rarely a good thing. Good luck with it...
I ordered from a brand called Kiarasky & they sent me someone else’s order But the package was addressed to me with my name & address, but it contains someone else’s order. Even if the company sends me a return label , but according to the FTC I can keep them because it’s “unsolicited goods” right ?
answered on Jun 29, 2021
The issue is not whether you can (and I would not expect any lawyer to do this research for you) but whether you should AFTER trying to find the proper/intended person. Listen to your own moral compass, regardless of what the answer turns out to be.
We asked for a refund which he agreed to but he kept delaying our payment. It's been a year and he just told us now he is not gonna pay us back. We have all the receipts and text messages as proof.

I know California (AG) takes extended warranties seriously as the FTC does and that the sellers of Consumer Electronic Warranties in California are required to refund consumers per 2005 California Civil Code Sections 1792-1795.7 Article 3. Sale Warranties.
If they refuse to refund the... View More

Honestly, if I were you and I was talking about the law, almost any law, I would not say "I know." Even lawyers rarely say it as the law is rarely written in stone, to say the least. CC 1792 discusses "implied warranties" and not 'extended warranties.' In fact,... View More
Vehicle purchased in Bellflower, DMV investigations I opened in January...DMV just talks about taking my vehicle away to impound and leave me in the streets walking and say courts are two years to get a refund but that was pre lockdown times.

Your post is very hard to follow. That said, it appears you have at least one issue related to title? I think Attorney Colin Welsh may be able to help with this one.
Dealer is blaming the DMV for no tags...it's getting an obvious lie. Dealer puts me off his tag title company and him leave me stranded with expired tags and have excuses "it's Covid" and "it's a gov van".
answered on May 21, 2021
Seller must, by law, deliver "marketable title." Failure to do so is actionable. Contact the DMV Investigations unit and open an inquiry. Also, seek out a consumer protection attorney for more input.
Long story short, I purchased a product that was not as advertised and does not hold up to the claims that the company makes on their website and they refuse to give me a refund. They have been investigated by the BBB because of how many claims other customers made against this company for doing... View More

There is nowhere near enough info here to help. For instance if it was a garlic press from a local store, tough deal.
But, if it is a car from Ford, whole other analysis. There is a fairly new law in CA that a company cannot (for lack of a better term) 'bully' a consumer into... View More

You can probably sue, and potentially win and potentially get your attorneys paid, depending on how bad the wreck was and related money/safety issues.

Breaking this way down to basics:
You have an agreement to give them a car and for them to pay you.
They now have the car and the money, which is not OK.
You can be patient and hope this works out, but, that is not real likely.
You can get legal help.... View More

So no one "wins" a settlement. That's why it is a settlement, to avoid winning/losing.
Your wife would have had to have signed off on the settlement to get one.
How do you know the lawyers have the money?
AND why are they saying they are not realeasing the... View More

IF THIS: "We went to the city, but the code does not have any light-trespassing/pollution laws"
is true, it may be tough to sue them? Perhaps you can find a way to limit that intrusion?

So sorry to hear this. Yes, you can sue. Winning is always another matter, but, unlike criminal law, which requires a verdict "beyond a reasonable doubt" in civil law, you need only "more likely than not" or 50% plus a smidge. Still, they can admit fault and there be an... View More

Car dealers generally will not finance the loan and frankly, if they do, which is rare, they will not make reports to credit reporting agencies as that opens up a whole ball of wax (liabilities) that they have no interest in, so, the answer is "no" they are not likely to do this.... View More
I was flossing and accidentally broke my filling. I used the floss as advertised. There is no warning on the flossing package of the possibility of breaking a filling.

Attorney King was very kind and thoughtful in her response.
The issue is causation. Can you prove that it was "but for" this event?
If so, you are good to go, then you need to prove damages, so, how
much did this cost? You get the picture. It's not likely to... View More
