Lemon Law Group Partners PLC

Focus and practice areas

Lemon Law Group Partners represents consumers whose new or certified preowned vehicles stay broken while still under the original manufacturer's warranty. The work centers on two related claim types: lemon law claims and breach of warranty claims. Both turn on the same basic problem, which is a car that keeps returning to the shop for the same fault.

Lemon law is state law, and the rules change at every border. What counts as a reasonable number of repair attempts in one state may not count in the next. The remedies differ too. A firm that takes these cases across the country has to track those variations claim by claim.

The firm handles claims nationwide from its headquarters in North Miami Beach, Florida. In my opinion, that combination is worth pausing on. A single practice area repeated across fifty sets of rules builds a kind of knowledge that is hard to pick up casually.

How the firm started

Jason Hegedus formed Lemon Law Group Partners PLC in 2012. Before that, he worked as defense counsel for a Big Three auto manufacturer in Michigan. He had been litigating lemon law claims since the late 1990s, so the firm launched with more than a decade of subject-matter work already behind it.

The manufacturer-side background matters in a practical way. Someone who spent years defending automakers knows how those companies evaluate a claim, what their internal repair records look like, and where a case tends to settle or stall. That knowledge carries over when the same person sits on the consumer side of the table.

The firm began as a solo operation and grew from there. By the firm's own account, it now includes more than twenty attorneys, paralegals and case managers, and it has handled over 30,000 client matters. Those are the firm's figures, and a reader should treat them as such.

How the team is built

The attorney roster is unusual for a single-focus consumer firm, mostly because of how the licenses spread across the map.Several attorneys hold bar admissions in multiple states, and a few hold federal district court admissions as well. For nationwide work, that spread is the mechanism that makes it possible.

Leadership

Jason S. Hegedus is the Managing Partner. The site credits him with nearly three decades of lemon law litigation experience and more than 1,000 lemon law cases handled.

Melinda Madison is Attorney at Law and Director of Litigation, with over 20 years of legal experience spanning private practice, public service and corporate law. She manages litigation strategy and consumer protection claims. She previously served as an Assistant Attorney General in Illinois, and she has published legal writing in the Journal of Legal Medicine and The Forensic Echo. A director of litigation with an attorney general background brings a regulatory reading of consumer protection law that a purely private-practice career tends to miss.

Attorneys and state coverage

Several attorneys carry state-specific responsibility. Kathryn B. Abrams manages the firm's California claims and has over 17 years of legal experience, with a J.D. from Wayne State University Law School and a B.A. from the University of Michigan Honors College. Shawn Michael Riehl is Of Counsel and licensed in Ohio, where he handles the firm's Ohio cases; he also represents plaintiffs injured by the negligence of others.

Stephen Murray is licensed in nine states and admitted to the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Iowa. He has nearly a decade of civil litigation experience in defective vehicle and breach of warranty claims, and he spent seven years defending insurers in Chicago. Rachel B. Saturn is licensed in Nevada, California, New York and Massachusetts, with over 30 years handling civil litigation for consumers and individuals.

Mark S. Barnett is a Florida attorney admitted before the U.S. District Courts for the Middle and Northern Districts of Florida, with experience in civil litigation, criminal defense and consumer protection. Matthew Foster is licensed in New York and Connecticut.He began as a law clerk on civil, family and criminal matters, then practiced at a large Connecticut law firm before moving into consumer rights.

Backgrounds and training

Sauliha Mitchell is an Associate Attorney representing consumers in lemon law matters. She earned her Juris Doctor from Emory University School of Law and was inducted into the Order of the Barristers National Honor Society for oral and courtroom advocacy.

Jeff works on lemon law, deceptive trade practices and breach of warranty cases. He holds a J.D. from Oklahoma City University School of Law and an MBA from the Meinders School of Business, which is a useful pairing in warranty disputes where the numbers matter as much as the statute.

Jay Chamberlin practices civil litigation with a background in consumer protection and complex litigation. He holds degrees from Pennsylvania State University and Villanova University School of Law. J. Mason Davis III holds a J.D. from Birmingham School of Law and a B.A. from Talladega College, and he focuses on probate, real property, contract law, debt resolution and general counsel work.

What the record shows

Two patterns run through the attorney bios. The first is prior defense-side work. Hegedus defended a major automaker. Murray defended insurers for seven years. Madison worked as a state prosecutor of sorts on the government side. Lawyers who have argued the other position tend to know which arguments hold up.

The second pattern is multi-state licensing. Saturn holds four bar licenses. Murray holds nine. Foster holds two. Abrams and Riehl each own a state portfolio outright. As a reviewer, that structure reads as deliberate: the firm assigns cases to attorneys who are already admitted where the claim sits.

The firm operates on a contingency basis and states that clients owe no attorney fees unless the case is won. That is the firm's own description of its fee arrangement, and prospective clients should confirm the terms directly.

Reading the listing

What a directory can verify here is the specific detail. The firm publishes named attorneys with their law schools, their state licenses and their federal court admissions. That level of disclosure lets a reader check individual credentials against public bar records, which is a different proposition from a page of unattributed claims.

The firm's public footprint is narrow. It maintains a Facebook page. There is no listed Instagram, LinkedIn, X or YouTube presence in the site's structured data. Bar admission years are absent from the attorney profiles, so a reader who wants exact dates will need to check state bar directories.

The claim volume figures deserve the same treatment. Over 30,000 client matters and more than 1,000 lemon law cases for the managing partner are numbers the firm reports about itself. They are not independently audited, and this review does not treat them as verified.

Who this firm fits

The natural client is someone with a vehicle that has been back to the dealership repeatedly under warranty. The firm's material points at new and certified preowned cars still covered by the original manufacturer's warranty, which is the narrower category where lemon law statutes usually apply.

The nationwide reach has a practical consequence. A consumer in Ohio, California or Iowa can reach an attorney who is already admitted in that state, without the firm needing to arrange local counsel from scratch. That is a real operational advantage for a claim type governed entirely by state law.

In my opinion, the clearest signal in this listing is the depth on one subject. Lemon Law Group Partners has spent since 2012 doing warranty and lemon law work under one name, built by a founder who litigated these claims from the late 1990s onward. The firm names its attorneys, lists where each one is licensed, and describes what each one handles.
