David J. Gorberg & Associates is a dedicated lemon law firm based in Honolulu, Hawaii, with a proven track record of helping consumers throughout the Hawaiian Islands recover compensation for defective vehicles. The firm has represented hundreds of clients across Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, and Lanai, and is recognized as a leader in the field, having recovered millions in settlements. The Hawaii Lemon Law protects consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles registered in the state. Under this law, a vehicle may qualify as a lemon if it has a manufacturer's warranty defect that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety, and meets certain repair or service criteria within the lemon law rights period. These criteria include three or more repair attempts for the same defect, one repair for a condition that could cause serious bodily injury, or the vehicle remaining out of service for 30 days or longer during the applicable period. David J. Gorberg & Associates handles the lemon law process from initial evaluation through resolution. The firm offers free case evaluations and works on a fee arrangement where the manufacturer typically pays attorney fees as part of the settlement or arbitration award. The firm's approach involves contacting the manufacturer, negotiating settlements, and pursuing cases through Hawaii's State Certified Lemon Law Arbitration Program (SCAP) when necessary. The firm's recent results demonstrate success across a range of vehicle defects and manufacturers. Cases have resulted in full refunds for vehicles with transmission problems, airbag and safety system defects, engine issues, stalling and fuel pump failures, steering and alignment problems, and collision detection malfunctions. Clients have also received substantial cash settlements while retaining their vehicles. Many cases have been resolved within 30 to 60 days of initial contact.
