Do You Qualify?
Four questions will help you find out in about a minute.
You Likely Qualify!
Your answers meet the basic lemon law test. Before anyone can confirm that your car qualifies, an attorney has to see the repair orders. We work on a contingency basis, and there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover for you.
You May Not Qualify Under Standard Lemon Law
The standard lemon law test does not seem to fit. Other consumer protection laws may still help with a car like yours. Contact us anyway.

How your Wisconsin claim gets built
Our lemon law work is directed by Steven P. Nassi, Esq., Managing Partner, Easy Lemon by RockPoint Law P.C. A Wisconsin claim gets built on two things: the Wisconsin 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.

Brookfield Lemon Law Basics
In Brookfield, as anywhere else in Wisconsin, a lemon law claim is brought under Wis. Stat. §218.0171. The statute covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Wisconsin for purposes other than resale (includes motor homes), but being covered is only the start. The car also has to reach one of the repair limits in the box above, with the defect still unrepaired and the deadline not yet passed. If it does, you may have a claim. Our Wisconsin Lemon Law Attorneys page goes through the statute text, the filing deadlines and used cars in more detail.
How a Brookfield Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Brookfield.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Brookfield dealership, even the short ones. WI lemon law needs written proof of each repair attempt, and those papers are the proof.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Wisconsin 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 any written notice to the manufacturer that WI law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.
You Get Compensated
The case ends with a refund, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement. There are no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.

Is Your Brookfield Car a Lemon? Wisconsin's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Wisconsin law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety. This defect came up in one of Easy Lemon's own Wisconsin cases:
- ⚠️2025 Kia K5 GT: Recurring transmission judder and stuttering between gears
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Wisconsin the test is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
In Wisconsin the deadline is 3 years from the date of first delivery to the original consumer. We check it 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 are past the deadline, call us anyway. We may still be able to help.
Court and Venue in Brookfield
Brookfield is in Waukesha County. Waukesha County's general civil trial court is the Waukesha County Circuit Court. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The Wisconsin lemon law is Wis. Stat. §218.0171. If a state-certified dispute program is available, the consumer must use it before suing.
The repair test in the statute is 4 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Under the statute, a consumer who prevails can recover attorney fees from the manufacturer.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
The Wisconsin statute provides for replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset), and a qualifying WI case from Brookfield usually ends in one of these three ways.
Refund
You hand back the car. In return the manufacturer repays the price, the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, with a reasonable use offset taken out.
Replacement Vehicle
You leave with a comparable new car. The manufacturer pays for the swap.
Cash Settlement
You keep the car, and the manufacturer pays you for the value the defect took off it. This result is not listed in the statute and comes from negotiation.
