A Firm That Stopped Chasing Weak Repair Histories
One illustrative account, drawn from patterns several lemon law practices describe — not a specific client's verified record.
A lemon law practice built almost entirely around statutory claims — cases where the manufacturer's own repair history does most of the proving. The firm's whole model depended on getting to that repair history fast, and generic leads made that slower than it needed to be.
The Grind
A lead would say "engine problem" and nothing else. Intake had to ask how many times the dealer had attempted a repair, whether the vehicle was still under warranty, what the vehicle was actually worth. Some callers had one failed visit and a minor issue — a case that likely wouldn't clear the statutory bar. Others had five documented attempts on a brake defect and a new vehicle still under warranty — exactly the case the firm wanted, buried in the same intake queue as the rest.
The Hidden Cost
The strongest cases weren't rising to the top on their own. Intake spent the same five or six minutes qualifying every caller, whether the repair history supported a claim or not, before anyone could tell which stack a case belonged in.
What Changed
The firm set its own filters directly — defect type, number of repair attempts, warranty status, vehicle value — and saw pricing for that exact combination before ordering. No call to a rep to explain what made a case worth taking.
A Different First Call
A lead with three-plus repair attempts and an active warranty arrived already labeled as one of the firm's target cases. Intake didn't have to build the repair timeline from scratch on the phone — it came in with the lead.
Where It Settled
The filters get tightened or loosened as caseload allows — stricter repair-attempt thresholds when the docket is full, looser when there's room to take a chance on a borderline case. That adjustment happens on the firm's own account, not through a call to redefine what a good case looks like.
Is This the Right Fit for Your Firm?
Likely a good fit if you:
- Handle statutory lemon law or breach of warranty claims
- Know the repair-history threshold that makes a case worth pursuing
- Would rather set filters yourself than screen every inquiry by hand
- Still verify repair records and warranty status independently
Probably not, if you:
- Can't follow up on new inquiries promptly
- Expect every lead to already qualify under your state's statute
- Want guaranteed settlement or verdict outcomes
- Don't have an established intake process yet
Leads, Not Guaranteed Clients
Our filters match inquiries to the vehicle and defect profile your firm selects. They don't verify repair records, assess statutory eligibility, or guarantee a prospect will retain your firm. Your firm still owns:
- Verifying repair and warranty records
- Conflicts checks
- Determining statutory eligibility
- Advertising & solicitation compliance
- The decision to accept representation
Case evaluation and the retention decision stay entirely with your firm. We handle getting relevant, filtered leads to your intake team.
