Consumer Law, Auto, and Finance Industry

At Madison Law, we provide robust legal protection for businesses operating in the automobile sales and finance sectors. Both federal and California state laws, including the Consumers Legal Remedies Act and the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, provide avenues of recovery to consumers that can expose your business to significant legal risks. Our firm has the experience and resources to help clients navigate these complex legal issues and defend against these statutory claims.

In recent years, California has seen a rise in litigation against small businesses, including automobile dealers and automotive finance companies, often brought by plaintiffs’ attorneys who exploit consumer protection laws for their own profit, often at the expense of their “clients.” These attorneys frequently file lawsuits over alleged product defects or sales practices, often targeting the automotive industry. They employ aggressive tactics, seeking exorbitant settlements, attorneys’ fees, and injunctions that can place immense financial strain on businesses. Many companies settle out of court to avoid costly trials or arbitrations, only to face an increasing number of claims in the future.

At Madison Law, we’ve honed an assertive, strategic approach to defending our clients against these exploitative lawsuits. With decades of experience trying cases before arbitrators and judges, we have successfully achieved favorable outcomes in our cases, often having lawsuits dismissed before they ever reach trial or arbitration. Our results-driven litigation strategy ensures that our clients are not held hostage by meritless claims or excessive settlement demands.

We offer a full suite of legal services tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses in the automotive and finance industries. Our concentration encompasses both defensive and proactive legal strategies, ensuring that we not only protect your business but help prevent future legal challenges.
