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

Portland Lemon Law Basics
Oregon's lemon law, Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418, is the one that applies in Portland. It covers new motor vehicles purchased or leased in Oregon for personal, family, or household use. 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 Oregon Lemon Law Attorneys page has the full statute text, the filing deadlines and the used-car rules.
How a Portland Lemon Law Claim Works
This is what happens after you call us from Portland.
Document Your Repairs
Keep every repair order from your Portland dealership, even the short ones. Under Oregon's lemon law, those papers are the written proof of each repair attempt.
Free Case Evaluation
We read your repair history against the Oregon 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 Oregon law requires. 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 Portland Car a Lemon? Oregon's 3-Step Test
Does the Defect Substantially Impair Use, Value, or Safety?
Under Oregon law, the defect has to substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
Have You Met the Repair Attempt Threshold?
In Oregon the test is 3 repair attempts for the same defect or 30 cumulative calendar days out of service (60 days for motor homes), 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 Oregon, a claim must be brought within 1 year after the earlier of 2 years or 24,000 miles 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 Portland
Parts of Portland lie in Clackamas County, Multnomah County and Washington County, per the 2020 Census. Their general civil trial courts are the Clackamas County Circuit Court (5th Judicial District), the Multnomah County Circuit Court (4th Judicial District) and the Washington County Circuit Court (20th 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 Oregon lemon law is Or. Rev. Stat. §646A.400 to §646A.418. If the manufacturer has a dispute program that follows federal FTC rules and has told the consumer about it, the consumer must use it first; its decision binds the manufacturer but not the consumer.
The repair test in the statute is 3 repair attempts for the same defect, or 30 cumulative calendar days (60 days for motor homes) with the vehicle out of service. The statutory remedy is a replacement vehicle or a full refund, minus a reasonable offset for use. Under the statute, the court may award reasonable attorney fees to a consumer who prevails.
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 Our Clients Are Saying
Easy Lemon has handled 3,000+ lemon law cases‡.
My brother-in-law, a mechanic, said 'that's not normal for a modern engine. Call someone.' So I did. I spoke to Steven Nassi at Easy Lemon.
He explained that excessive oil consumption is a known defect in certain Subaru engines. He'd handled similar cases. He said, 'They tell you it's normal because they don't want to replace the short block.' He already knew the internal service bulletins.
His team filed the claim. Subaru settled with a cash payment that covered my oil expenses and then some. I was genuinely surprised it worked.
Why different? Steven saw a pattern I didn't know existed. They don't just take cases; they know manufacturer secrets.”
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.”
