Awesome!! Lilia Guizar got us out of a nightmare we were in with with a non operating vehicle. I was turned down by other firms after discussing my case. Lily took time to hear me out and was thorough with the information I provided her about my complaint. We are completely satisfied with our outcome!

Lilia Guizar was my attorney in a recent fraud case and I am so impressed with the outcome. The process was quick and easy. We even countered the first offer to get what was fair and I’m happy to say that the car was picked up today, I am free of that burden and I feel validated for all the time and money wasted trusting a dealership that took advantage of me. Widowed military wife and mother. That dealership thought I just give up. I’ve read that these cases can take a year or two to settle, I remember when speaking with Lilia and she said, ”I’d like to wrap this up by the end of the month,” and she absolutely did. Car was picked up Thursday, by Friday I received tracking from FedEx for the settlement check. That’s pretty incredible for this kind of litigious case. I read some of these other reviews and I have to say, once they take the case, don’t pester them, let them do their job. They always communicated when necessary but I didn’t need someone to hold my hand through the process. She was an aggressive attorney. Recommend her 100%!

Had a Jeep with several issues. Called Auto Fraud Legal Center and they were able to help me out. They had the dealership buy back my vehicle and give me my money back + extra. They are an amazing team, especially Lilia Guizar, she was with me from the beginning all the way to the end. She would call me and text me whenever there were any updates, she guided us through the process and helped us make the best decisions. I couldn’t have asked for a better result, thanks to Lilia and the rest of the team. In total, it took about 4 months to resolve my case, which was fast. Again, thank you Lilia and everyone at Auto Fraud Legal Center, you guys are the best!
