Our Lawyers Love to Fight For the Little Guys

“I love helping car buyers who have been taken advantage of when they can least afford to make a mistake. Our clients are often in desperate need of a reliable car to get to jobs they can’t miss or to take care of loved ones. They don’t usually buy expensive or fancy cars and are just hoping for a fair deal. But too often, these hard-working people were lied to and cheated by greedy dealerships who are more concerned with elaborate schemes to make extra profits than honest sales. Very few of our clients could afford to pay us the rates we would need to charge them, so I love that California has laws to protect consumers by making the cheating dealers pay us to catch them.” – Hawk Barry, Managing Partner

Auto Fraud Legal Center surpassed my expectations on every level! Alfredo Gutierrez took my call, and immediately realized I likely have a case, as my certified pre-owned 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid, bought in 2022, could not be aligned, and was diagnosed with a rear bent subframe, and that it had been in an accident.

Alfredo instructed me to send him emails with the service records, and the details. Antonia Simmons responded, after the attorney reviewed it all, saying that they determined that they are able to pursue a claim on my behalf. As I was reviewing the retainer they sent me to sign, whenever I emailed them back with a question, they had the attorney, Gregory T. Babbitt, call me the same-day (he always called me in the evenings around 6-7:30 pm). His knowledge and dedication to prospective clients like me, blew my mind!

Instead of proceeding, I chose to go ahead and have it fixed. However, I will probably always regret that, as Mr. Babbitt was very confident we would win my case, and also felt it would move pretty fast. He explained that we had a very good chance of having the dealer buy back my car, for the full price I had paid to them (in cash), and receiving additional damages for all the maintenance hassles and frustration/pushback/lies I’d been put through. Do yourself a favor, and put your trust in this firm. They will always have your back and get the very best for you.

After trying to deal with a dealership myself for 3 months after buying a vehicle that was misrepresented in a massive way, I went ahead and contacted Auto fraud legal center. I provided all original documents to the legal center. They made the process extremely easy for me. I rarely had to appear in court except for 2-3 times. After a few years I was able to collect almost 4 times the vehicles originally value

I highly recommend Auto Fraud Legal Center. Carly Roman, Michelle Cook and Valeria Gutierrez were always very patient and attentive. They were always willing to answer my questions and explained everything very well throughout the process. They always asked me questions to get my opinion and guided me to find the best path. After 1 year, I finally managed to get back all the money I paid for the car I had bought, the rental and insurance until the end of the process. I am very satisfied with the outcome. About the process: I bought a used car from Chevrolet that had a problem with the engine (burning oil quickly because according to Nissan the first owner did not change the oil correctly). Because of this, Nissan said that to fix it it would cost almost the amount I paid for the car. So I asked for my money back and Chevrolet said that I had no rights because it was a used car. So I contacted Auto Fraud and they said that I had a good chance of getting my money back. And here I am, super happy with everything I spent so far back.

We were the victims of a fraudulent car sale and felt completely overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. Thankfully, we found Auto Fraud Legal Center. From our first conversation, their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cared about helping us. They walked us through the entire legal process, kept us informed every step of the way, and ultimately secured a settlement that we truly deserved. Their expertise and dedication made all the difference. Special thanks to Hawk Berry and Valeria Gutierrez for seeing us through the end.
