Looking for a Lemon Law Attorney Near
Pasco County, FL?
Did you buy a lemon recently? We’re not talking about tangy citrus fruit here. In legal circles, the term “lemon” refers to a vehicle with a serious manufacturer defect. There are about 150,000 lemons reported each year in the US. That’s about one percent of all new vehicles produced in any given year. If you’re saddled with a lemon, quality legal representation can help. A lawyer may be able to use Florida lemon laws to reimburse you for the cost of the vehicle, or force the manufacturer to send you a new vehicle entirely. However, these cases have a relatively short window for success. Because of this, you need a firm with the expertise to quickly resolve your claim. The Wheeler Law Firm has nearly a decade helping clients near Pasco County, FL resolve their lemon law claims. Founding attorney Valentina Wheeler has built a reputation as a fierce and reliable attorney for lemon law cases.
The Wheeler Law Firm serves clients in these areas:
- Largo, FL

- Hillsborough County, FL
- Manatee County, FL
- Pasco County, FL
Understanding Florida Lemon Laws
In order for the state to consider a vehicle a lemon, it must never have performed correctly. The issue must arise soon after you purchase the vehicle and multiple attempts to fix it end up fruitless. The term only applies to new cars. If you buy a used vehicle, the law won’t consider it a lemon. The term doesn’t just cover cars that an owner bought. Leased vehicles can also be covered by lemon laws.
There are two main requirements that a vehicle must meet for the state to consider it a lemon:
- The vehicle has a significant defect that the manufacturer’s warranty covers. This defect must present itself within a certain number of miles or a certain period of time after you purchased the vehicle.
- The owner of the vehicle tried to repair the vehicle a number of times, but no amount of fixing can make the vehicle run adequately.
Any defect that substantially affects the driver’s ability to use the vehicle, the vehicle’s safety, or the resale price of the vehicle will qualify it as a lemon. For example, if an issue affects the car’s steering, breaks, or seatbelt, the state will consider it a lemon. However, minor issues like an unruly audio input jack aren’t substantial enough to qualify the vehicle as a lemon.
A “reasonable” number of repairs can change depending on the issue your vehicle is experiencing. For example, if the defect significantly affects the safety of the vehicle and a mechanic can’t repair it after even a single attempt, the law may consider the vehicle a lemon. In addition, if the vehicle spends more than 30 days in the shop in a year to fix issues that the manufacturer’s warranty covers, you may have a case.
This is just a basic overview of lemon laws – to get an answer about your specific case, you need to talk to an attorney.

Words can’t even describe the harassment I endured with my ex in this case. The anxiety and my lack of court knowledge was crippling. I had a very poor attorney that took my money and did nothing accomplished nothing for weeks. That’s when I called Attorney Valentina Wheeler into my messy case - she turned my nightmare into hope and I finally had a feeling of being heard and empowered. During our consultation she took time to hear everything, looked at the entire case, and never made me feel rushed. When she stepped in, the case moved so quick and in my favor. She is a machine! She was determined and stood by my side through all the lies and manipulation from an unreasonable ex. She is intelligent and fierce. She is so savage in the most eloquent way, with the most heart. My son is my life and Valentina embraced that. She is such a passionate attorney because she understands the importance of family. She is my champion in the courtroom. She pours everything into her work and always keeps her word. When she says she will file or get a hearing, you will see the results of her work in a timely manner. She is so responsive and she always made me feel like I am her most important case.
I am a single mother and attorney’s fees was the one reason I tried to stay out of the courts. Her billing is fair and very clear. She is worth every cent. She fought for me during this most challenging time and I stopped stressing. I am happier than I’ve ever been. I can focus on taking care of myself and my son because I trust Valentina will take care of everything in the courts. That’s the most rewarding feeling. I am just so blessed I found her. I am very pleased with her services and representation. She is truly one of a kind; a rare talent. She saved me from a pit of darkness.
Thank you so much for for caring Valentina. I’ll be forever grateful. I can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you have done and continue to do for myself and my son! read lessI consulted with Ms. Wheeler about filing for dissolution of marriage in FL vs another state and she quickly took... read moreI consulted with Ms. Wheeler about filing for dissolution of marriage in FL vs another state and she quickly took me through FL law, its advantages and disadvantages, then honestly advised me to file outside of FL.
