RV Lemon Law Attorney in San Diego, California — No Upfront Fees

Yes. California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act protects every RV owner in San Diego County — from Chula Vista and National City to Encinitas, Carlsbad, El Cajon, and Rancho Bernardo. If your motorhome, fifth wheel, or travel trailer was purchased, leased, or is registered in California, you qualify for the same statewide protections regardless of where you bought the unit.

The Law Office of Jeffrey L. Le Pere is located at 16870 West Bernardo Drive, Suite 400, San Diego, CA 92127, in the Rancho Bernardo business corridor just off the I-15. You can reach the office at (858) 544-2292. We meet clients by appointment and handle most of the case remotely — you almost never need to come in.

We have litigated cases involving the major San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial County dealers — including franchises operating in El Cajon, Mira Mesa, Santee, and along the I-15 corridor. Common manufacturers in our San Diego docket include Thor, Forest River, Tiffin, Newmar, Winnebago, Coachmen, Keystone, Grand Design, Jayco, and Airstream, along with chassis suppliers like Lippert, Freightliner, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

California's Song-Beverly statute of limitations is generally four years from the date you knew, or should have known, about the defect. However, evidence and witness memory degrade quickly — and manufacturers leverage that. The strongest cases are filed within the warranty period or shortly after. If you live in San Diego County and your RV has had multiple repair attempts, do not wait. A free case review costs you nothing.

Almost never. Most California RV lemon law claims settle without litigation, and even contested matters are usually resolved through written discovery, depositions in Jeff's San Diego office, and remote conferences. If a court appearance becomes necessary, San Diego County Superior Court is local, and Jeff handles the courtroom work personally.

Nothing out of pocket. California's lemon law shifts attorney's fees and costs to the manufacturer when you prevail. Jeff Le Pere works on a fee-shift basis — you pay zero up front, zero during the case, and zero out of any settlement you receive. The manufacturer pays.

Most cases resolve within three to six months from the date Jeff sends the manufacturer's demand. Complex motorhome buyback negotiations and dealer-fraud add-ons can extend that timeline, but Jeff's defense-side background — eleven years representing manufacturers — gives him unusual leverage at the negotiating table, which keeps San Diego cases moving.

Yes. California lemon law follows the consumer, not the purchase location. If you live in San Diego County and your RV is registered in California, the Song-Beverly Act and Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act apply — even if you bought the unit in Arizona, Nevada, or Oregon. The manufacturer's warranty travels with the vehicle.
