The Auto Fraud Attorney Legal Process

What Is the First Step in an Auto Fraud Claim? +

Florida law requires that a consumer send a dealership a demand letter 30 days prior to taking formal legal action under Fla. Stat. § 501.98. Once we complete our due diligence, we prepare the demand and issue it to the dealership on the consumer’s behalf. In some instances, this leads to an early resolution.

What Is the First Step in a Breach of Warranty Claim? +

Before proceeding with formal legal action, a manufacturer must be provided notice and a final opportunity to cure the defect. Once retained, we prepare a comprehensive letter to the manufacturer informing them of the defects and afford them a final chance to get it right. If they don’t, we proceed with litigation.

How Long Does the Process Take? +

Since litigation is a creature of time, it is impossible to provide an accurate estimate. Some cases take several weeks, some take several months, and others take several years. In every lawsuit there are a number of moving parts which may impact the resolution. It may also take your attorney some time to complete preliminary due diligence and initial research before proceeding.
