What type of attorney would I need to sue a car dealership and general motors?

Answered 4 years and 6 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
There is no lemon law for used cars. Unless its a warranty breach issue, and it seems this is not covered by the warranty, you are essentially stuck. You will need to find the source of the leaks and have it repaired at your expense.

How long does a car dealership have to pay back a auto loan

Answered 4 years and 11 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer
There really isn't a time frame for that circumstance. You need to address this with the lender to make sure that the lender unwinds the deal as there are often issues where dealer does not have ability to cancel the sale after the lender funds it. If there is an issue you may need to retain a lawyer to push the issue for you. ... Read More

car lemon law in CT

Answered 6 years and 7 months ago by attorney Hon. Max L Rosenberg   |   1 Answer
Based on your question, it does not sound as though you qualify under the lemon law for relief. I don’t see any implications of a wrongful repossession. It sounds like your next step may be to consider filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy.   However, deciding to do so should be based on the total amount of unsecured debt that you owe.  I would not file simply for the 9K alleged debt.  You should consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney as soon as possible to better understand your options and strategies.  Bankruptcy has been the focus of my practice for fifteen years. I would advise you to contact one of us who have answered you here or utilize the Find a Lawyer function on this site to further explore the attorney options available to you.  Good luck. ...

Do I have to give the buyer of my motorcycle his money back?

Answered 9 years ago by attorney Lori Nevias   |   1 Answer
This is a perfect example of the legal maxim "caveat emptor"= buyer beware. Unless your fiance gave the buyer a written guarantee, or specifically lied to him about the particular problem of which the buyer is now complaining, your fiance is under absolutely no obligation to take back the motorcycle. The fact that the buyer has no bill of sale will make it nearly impossible for him to prove a case if he tried to sue your fiance- especially since the buyer was offered one at the time of sale.  ...
