Founded by attorney Michael A. Klitzke, the firm focuses on Lemon Law, auto fraud, and personal injury cases in both state and federal courts. With a strong academic background and years of hands-on litigation experience, Mr. Klitzke is committed to helping clients pursue the compensation, justice, and accountability they deserve. Before launching Auto Law, Michael A. Klitzke spent years representing consumers at the Auto Fraud Legal Center and became widely recognized for his role in the landmark California Supreme Court case Pulliam v. HNL Automotive, Inc. This important decision strengthened consumer rights by allowing attorney fees to be recovered from dealerships and finance companies, making legal representation more accessible for consumers facing vehicle fraud and warranty disputes. Through dedicated advocacy and strategic litigation, Auto Law continues to stand up for consumers against unfair automotive practices throughout California.
