Do You Qualify?
It takes about a minute. Four questions, and you find out if the lemon law may apply.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers line up with the basic lemon law test. The next step is for an attorney to confirm that from your repair orders. Because we work on a contingency basis, there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
Your answers fall outside the usual lemon law test. That does not rule out other consumer protection laws. Contact us anyway.

How your Montana claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Montana claim gets built on two things: the Montana lemon law statute, and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies in all fifty states. Send the repair orders and the purchase or lease paperwork, and we can tell you which of the two fits your vehicle.

Bozeman Lemon Law Basics
A Bozeman car is judged against Montana's statute, Mont. Code §61-4-501 to §61-4-533, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Montana for personal, family, or household purposes. So the first question is coverage, and the second is whether your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above. If they do and the defect is still there, you may have a claim. Montana's lemon law sets no filing deadline of its own; defects must be reported to the manufacturer in writing within 2 years or 18,000 miles from delivery, whichever is earlier. The statute text, the filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are all on our Montana Lemon Law Attorneys page.
How a Bozeman Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Bozeman.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Bozeman dealership, even the short ones. Under Montana's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Montana statute and tell you whether the car qualifies. The review costs nothing, and there are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
We File the Claim
We write and send the paperwork, including the written notice to the manufacturer that Montana law requires before the presumption applies. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
A successful case usually ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
Is Your Bozeman Car a Lemon? Montana's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Montana law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Montana the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or a reasonable number of attempts) or 30 cumulative business days out of service, within the period described in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
The Montana lemon law does not set its own deadline to sue, but defects must be reported to the manufacturer in writing within 2 years or 18,000 miles from delivery, whichever is earlier. We check that deadline against the delivery date on your contract and the dates on your repair orders.
If you are not sure about your dates, call us. The consultation is free. 📞 (855) 435-3666
If you think you are past a deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.
Court and Venue in Bozeman
Bozeman is in Gallatin County. Gallatin County's general civil trial court is the Gallatin County District Court, part of the 18th Judicial District. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Montana lemon law is Mont. Code §61-4-501 to §61-4-533. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must use it.
The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect (or a reasonable number of attempts), or 30 cumulative business days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. The Montana lemon law has no general fee award for a consumer who prevails. Its only attorney-fee rule covers appeals: if a party appeals a state arbitration award without good cause, the court may award the other side costs and reasonable attorney fees.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.

Montana Lemon Law: The Rules That Decide a Bozeman Claim
Court and Venue above gives you the repair test and the arbitration rule. Montana law adds a few rules on top of those, and they follow.
Notable provisions of Montana Lemon Law
Montana's warranty period ends 2 years after delivery or at 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. Written notification to the manufacturer is required before the presumption applies, and the manufacturer must be given an opportunity to cure. Montana's lemon law contains no separate statute of limitations.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
Montana law provides for a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. There are three ways a qualifying case from Bozeman usually ends.
Refund
Give the car back and the manufacturer repays the price you paid, with the taxes, registration fees and finance charges. A reasonable use offset comes off that amount.
Replacement Vehicle
The manufacturer hands you a comparable new car and pays the cost of the exchange.
Cash Settlement
The car stays yours and the manufacturer pays for the value the defect took off it. You will not find this option in the statute. It is reached by negotiation.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡.
My Honda Pilot's fuel system kept throwing check engine codes for the evaporative emissions system. Four visits, four 'fixes,' four returns of the light.
A friend said 'just call a lemon law firm already.' I called Easy Lemon and spoke to Natalie Nassi. First thing she said: 'You've done the hard work already. Now let us do ours.'
She was right. She took my mountain of paperwork—my letters, my complaint case numbers, my repair orders—and organized it into a real claim. The manufacturer settled in two months.
Why them? Natalie valued the effort I'd already put in. She didn't start from zero; she built on my frustration. That respect made all the difference.”
