Q: I would like to know legal remedy and ball park how many hours to sue a dealership for for misrepresentation.
Dealership knew they were selling an unsafe car and misrepresented the condition of the title.car is not safe per 3 mechanics. Dealership has failed to repair issues or entertain a better car with more money. This car is not safe and they knew it and took advantage of what I didn't know and i want to pursue legal action. What are the cost and steps
A:
You need to contact a good "Lemon Law" attorney in your area. With as many car dealerships and car sales as you have in AZ, there will be some. Contact your local bar association for a referral. The question is not "How many hours?" but "Can you take this on a contingent fee and get paid out of recovery? And can we get Attorney's fees from the dealership?" You don't want to be hiring an attorney by the hour on this one. My ball park: 250 hours for a litigation through trial. Collecting is more.
