If you live in Waukesha County and your new or used vehicle has turned into a money pit, you do not have to keep absorbing the repair bills.

Your Lemon Law Rights in Waukesha County
Wisconsin's Lemon Law (Wis. Stat. § 218.0171) protects buyers and lessees of new vehicles when a warranty defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety and the manufacturer cannot fix it after a reasonable attempt — generally four repair attempts for the same problem or 30 days out of service in the first year. The remedy can be a full refund or a comparable new replacement vehicle. Our complete guide to the Wisconsin Lemon Law explains how the process works.
Bought a used vehicle from a dealer on Highway 164, Bluemound Road, or anywhere else in the county? The state Lemon Law generally will not apply — but the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Wisconsin's ban on deceptive sales practices (Wis. Stat. § 100.18), and Wisconsin's dealer inspection and disclosure rules often will. Start with our used car lemon law and dealership fraud pages.
What It Costs to Hire Us
Nothing up front in most cases. Wisconsin and federal consumer laws are fee-shifting: when you win, the manufacturer or dealer can be ordered to pay your attorney fees. Your consultation is free, and here is how most clients hire us for free.
A Waukesha Firm, Not a National Call Center
Several of the lemon law firms advertising in Wisconsin are based in Florida or Illinois. We are not. Attorney Nathan DeLadurantey lives and practices here, has been recognized by Super Lawyers, and has won jury verdicts of more than $300,000 for Wisconsin consumers. When you call, you talk to the lawyer who handles your case — not an intake service three states away.
How do I know if my car qualifies?
Bring us your purchase contract, warranty paperwork, and repair orders. In a free consultation we can usually tell you quickly whether you have a lemon law, warranty, or dealer fraud claim — and what it may be worth.
