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

Charles Town Lemon Law Basics
West Virginia's lemon law, W. Va. Code §46A-6A-1 to §46A-6A-9, is the one that applies in Charles Town. It covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in West Virginia for personal, family, or household use, and you may have a claim once your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above, as long as the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. Our West Virginia Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.

Is Your Charles Town Car a Lemon? West Virginia's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under West Virginia law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In West Virginia the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service, as long as the claim is brought within the deadline in step 3. For a defect that could cause serious bodily injury or death, 1 repair attempt is enough. Count the visits on your repair orders to see where you stand.
Did It Happen Within the Rights Period?
In West Virginia the deadline is 1 year of the expiration of the express warranty term. 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 Charles Town
Charles Town is in Jefferson County. Jefferson County's general civil trial court is the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, part of the Twenty-Eighth Judicial Circuit. West Virginia also has a lower court for smaller civil claims, so the amount in dispute can change where a case is filed. Which court hears a particular case still depends on its facts, the warranty issues involved and the law it is brought under.
The West Virginia lemon law is W. Va. Code §46A-6A-1 to §46A-6A-9. If the manufacturer's arbitration program is state-certified, the consumer must complete it first.
The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for serious safety defects), 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). A consumer who prevails may recover 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.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
What the manufacturer owes under West Virginia's statute is replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use offset). Most qualifying cases from Charles Town under WV law end in one of the three results below.
Refund
The manufacturer takes the car back and pays you the purchase price, taxes, registration fees and finance charges, and it can subtract a reasonable use offset.
Replacement Vehicle
You get a comparable new car in place of the one with the defect, with the manufacturer covering the cost.
Cash Settlement
You keep driving the car and the manufacturer pays you for the lost value. This is a negotiated result, since the statute does not list it.
