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

Dickinson Lemon Law Basics
The law that applies in Dickinson is North Dakota's lemon law, N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22, and it covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in North Dakota for personal, family, or household use. You may have a claim if your repair orders reach one of the repair limits in the box above while the defect is still there and you are inside the deadline. The statute text, the filing deadlines and the rules on used cars are on our North Dakota Lemon Law Attorneys page.

Is Your Dickinson Car a Lemon? North Dakota's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under North Dakota law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In North Dakota the test is 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative business 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 North Dakota, a claim must be brought within 6 months after the earlier of the express warranty term expiring or 18 months from original delivery. 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 Dickinson
Dickinson is in Stark County. Stark County's general civil trial court is the District Court, Stark County (Southwest 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 North Dakota lemon law is N.D. Cent. Code §51-07-16 to §51-07-22. The refund or replacement remedy is not available until the consumer has first used the manufacturer's qualifying informal dispute program.
The repair test in the statute is 4 or more repair attempts for the same defect, 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 North Dakota lemon law has no attorney-fee provision of its own.
Open recalls on your vehicle can be checked against NHTSA records at easylemon.com/recalls. A recall alone is not a lemon law claim.
