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

Jonesboro Lemon Law Basics
A Jonesboro car is judged against Arkansas's statute, Ark. Code §4-90-401 to §4-90-417, and that law covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Arkansas, primarily for personal, family, or household use. 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 and the deadline has not run out, you may have a claim. The statute text, the filing deadlines and how used cars are treated are all on our Arkansas Lemon Law Attorneys page.

We File the Claim
We write and send the paperwork, including any written notice to the manufacturer that AR law requires. We deal with the manufacturer for you.

Is Your Jonesboro Car a Lemon? Arkansas's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Arkansas law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Arkansas the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for life-threatening 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 Arkansas the deadline is 24 months or 24,000 miles from original delivery (whichever is earlier). 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 Jonesboro
Jonesboro is in Craighead County. Craighead County's general civil trial court is the Craighead County Circuit Court, part of the Second Judicial Circuit. Arkansas 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 Arkansas lemon law is Ark. Code §4-90-401 to §4-90-417. Arbitration is voluntary in Arkansas and is not required before filing suit.
The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect (or 1 for life-threatening 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 allowance). A consumer who prevails can recover 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.

What The Manufacturer Owes You
Arkansas's statute lists replacement vehicle or full refund (minus reasonable use allowance). In practice, a qualifying Jonesboro case under AR law usually ends in one of three ways, and the cards below explain each.
Refund
You return the car. The price comes back to you, and so do the taxes, the registration fees and the finance charges, after a reasonable use offset is taken off.
Replacement Vehicle
You trade the defective car for a comparable new one, and the manufacturer pays what the swap costs.
Cash Settlement
The car stays with you, and the manufacturer pays for the drop in value the defect caused. The statute does not provide for this. It comes out of negotiation.
