When I began having issues with my '24 Chevy Traverse, I started looking into the lemon law and gathering a list of law firms specializing in it. I contacted several firms for an initial consultation and Joshua Valero called me within 10 minutes of submitting my information. Joshua explained the process and was already emailing me details of similar issues with other GM vehicles, all within 30 minutes of submitting the initial request! I knew right away that he was the right guy for the job and he certainly lived up to the expectations. Joshua is very diligent and knowledgeable in this area. He would regularly give me updates and was quick to respond, always within the hour. Like anything legal, things move slowly; but when it's Joshua's turn at bat, he moves quickly. I can ramble on about my experience, but I won't. I'll end by saying that I would highly recommend anyone in a similar situation to look no further and to get in touch with Joshua. He was always providing guidance and was never pushy, never made me feel like we should just quickly settle and always left the decisions up to me. Thank you so much for all your help, Joshua! I hope to never find myself in a similar position, but if I do, I'll call you asap! read more

I contacted Mr. Valero on May 04th, 2026 about a serious electrical issue my 2022 Landrover Defender had experienced the year prior, and whose related expenses I paid for out of pocket. Mr. Valero helped me identify a recent recall going into effect for my issue and by May 28th, 2026, he was able to get Jaguar Land Rover North America to cover my prior costs entirely. I truly didn't think I would ever receive any compensation for this issue but thought I would give Mr. Valero a shot and I'm very glad I did. Even after starting the process with him I figured it would take several long months before finding any resolution -- never did I imagine he would have this taken care of within a matter of weeks! He was very thorough during our time together, handled pretty much everything, and went so far as to check up on me well after the matter was resolved. Very impressed with his level of service and commitment. Would absolutely recommend. read more

Valero Law, APC - General Litigation Near Me - Culver City, California

Josh is a great attorney specially when it comes to lemon law matters. He works hard for his clients.

I highly recommend Joshua Valero for your Lemon Law case. I did a large amount of due diligence--contacting over 10 firms and meticulously comparing three different retainers before choosing him. Joshua stood out immediately because I didn't have to go through an intake filter; I was able to speak directly with him. My case was complicated and involved tolling. Most other firms didn't bother to take the time to consider this and lazily told me my statute of limitations had expired. Or they wanted to make a quick buck by directing me on taking a cash and keep offer. Joshua actually knew the law, proved them wrong, and took the case. He was honest and tempered in his responses--he never over-promised, but he definitely over-delivered with the best possible outcome. I am very happy I did the research and landed on him. He was always available to take my call and highly responsive with communication in general. read more

Mr. Valero was extremely helpful and detailed in the lemon law process. He is always constant communication and always keeping us in the loop with updates. I hope I never come across another lemon, but if I do I know I have a great attorney in my contacts!!! read more

Tl;dr Josh is awesome, he is amazingly helpful, communicative and honest. I had a transmission replaced by a Chevy dealership, which took almost a month, and it failed that same week, so I took it too another dealership. Frustrated, upset and without a car, it took another 3 weeks. I knew a friend had got a lemon law deal for her car, so I started looking up lemon laws in California, and among my Google search, yielded Joshua Valero law. I gave him a call, he told me he thought I had a case, and he walked me through the likely outcomes. He told me I didn't have to pay a thing (in my case) and that he would take care of it all and simply needed some paperwork. While it does take a few months, he ended up getting me money from Chevrolet/GM. Josh is awesome! I highly advice giving him a call if you've had multiple large issues on your vehicle in a short period of time (or in the warranty window). read more

We have 2 others friends that used Valero Law because of issues with GM and they both received settlements . We decided to give them a try with all the issues we had with our 2017 Chevy Suburban. Valero Law can say they are 3 for 3! read more

This review is long overdue but I wanted to be able to talk about my entire experience with Joshua Valero before I wrote it. My partner and I received a mailer with information regarding Lemon Law and the vehicle we had. Of course, we were both really weary of any claim of recourse for a car that we knew had problems, so we proceeded with caution. In any case, my partner decided to reach out to Joshua and I cannot even begin to say how grateful I am for the chance mailer we received. After speaking with my spouse on a few occasions and gathering necessary documentation on our end, Joshua was confident in pursuing a claim under Lemon Law. I will say, even after we retained Joshua for his services, we were still quite apprehensive about the process. Despite our trepidation, we proceeded. Joshua is extremely professional, thorough, and knowledgeable about his work. From the beginning he outlined the entire arch of our case, various outcome possibilities, and a projected timeline. Our apprehension came in the form of several emails and phone calls to Joshua, all of which were returned by him in a timely manner. From the beginning to the end, Joshua was extremely attentive to our needs, making sure we were aware of developments as they happened and checking in with us when nothing was happening, just to keep an open line of communication with us. In the end, he did not disappoint. Joshua was able to successfully obtain the best possible outcome for our case and we are extremely grateful to him. Honestly, we receive, like many people, mail that gets tossed but we are so happy we decided to give Joshua a call on that fateful day. He recovered all the losses on our vehicle. Thank you! read more

Joshua hands down awesome!! I was so nervous when I was informed that I needed to get a lawyer. I am 37 years old and I never been in trouble or been in a situation that I needed a lawyer. But, there I was needing one to help me. I purchased a brand new car in 2016 and since day one I been having issues with the transmission. I contacted Valero law that we found online under lemon law. Stressed out with no car I made the call and Joshua picked up listening to my story about my car. He placed my worries to rest explaining in what he was going to do for me and how the case will go in details. He never collected or asked for any money. The case took less than a year and Joshua stayed in contact with me with emails and phone calls the entire time. And a reminder Covid -19 slowed things down but Joshua kept pushing and moving things along. With Joshua hard work and dedication we won our case!! He was able to pay off the remaining of the loan that was still owed. And he got all my money back that I paid towards the vehicle all the car payment for the last 4 years, services and registration. I had more than enough to buy a brand new car In cash and put money in my savings for future plans. Hands down awesome!!! His customer service on Point very easy to speak with. I would recommend Joshua from Valero Law for sure. I felt positive the entire time and at the end we had a very positive result. Thank you!! Joshua I'm enjoying my new car !! read more

See all

I had a foul burning smell come in through the vents on hard accelerations on my Mini Cooper. I took the car in over 5 times for it but the dealer kept telling me it was normal. I knew there was something wrong and even if it were "normal" then that just means they designed the car wrong. You can't argue there was nothing wrong with the Ford Pinto simply because it was "normal" for it to explode. Enter Valero Law. After hours of research online, I decided to call and request consultation. I was able to speak directly with an attorney who was very knowledgeable on California Lemon Law and my consultation put me at ease. Everything was handled virtually and professionally. You know that feeling you get when things go smoothly and you feel like you're in the right hands? That's how I felt. I think we've all heard bad stories about lawyers so I feel blessed I found Valero Law. My lawyer was able to get with the manufacturer and get me what I'm entitled to under the law. He really showed them who's boss. Law firms like Valero Law not only help individuals like me but protect consumer rights provided under the law. Valero Law is a voice for the voiceless. If you put your hard earned money into a car like I did just to for it to not work properly, and then get your intelligence insulted by companies that try to take advantage of you, give Valero Law a call. We only want what we deserve and what's provided under the law. Valero Law makes sure you're protected and will fight for you. Thank you Valero Law! read more

Joshua Valero is the BEST! I owned a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox that kept giving me problems with the engine consuming too much oil. After the last visit to the dealership (who didn't even think there was a problem), I called Mr. Valero. He clearly explained the issue I was having, explained the law and how long it would take, and made me feel at ease. 6 months later I got my refund and I'm finally done and out of that lemon car! Thank you Joshua Valero! read more

Joshua was very professional and delivered in excess of what he promised. Our situation was a little more difficult, but he made sure it was taken care of and we got the result we wanted. I highly recommend him if you have issues with a faulty car. read more

2013 Nissan Sentra Joshua Valero has a wealth of knowledge and has successfully guided me to the full repurchase of my vehicle. At first I was skeptical about receiving an unsolicited letter in the mail but after speaking with Joshua and understanding the process, I am ABSOLUTELY GRATEFUL for them reaching out. In my case, the repurchase was volunteered by the manufacturer and unfortunately there was no opportunity for Valero Law to be compensated for their time & efforts. Regardless of this, Joshua has continued to provide excellent advice and guidance If you're looking for assistance from an ethical, sincere and knowledgeable firm, do yourself the favor. - Aaron read more

Joshua was able to help me file a lemon law case against GMC for my 2013 Chevy Equinox. I had never filed a lawsuit before so I was worried about the entire process. Luckily, Joshua is very patient and knowledgeable with all aspects of the process. Every step of the way he explained the why's and the timelines for each step. Even when I wasn't sure of the paperwork he was always available to help me with the details. I am very thankful for his persistence in the case. It was over a year for resolution, but it was worth the wait. Please work with Joshua I'd you ever find yourself with a Lemon! It was a much less stressful process with Joshua on the case! He was so kind to work around my crazy grad school schedule. He was readily available for questions and updating me without asking. read more

We are extremely happy with the outcome Joshua obtained for us. Our 2013 ford focus was a nightmare. The constant repairs wore us down. I called Joshua and he agreed to help.

Thank you so much to Joshua and his team for successfully being able to get us a Cash and Keep offer on my 2013 Equinox!! We are still in shock at the amount we were offered and able to get back!!!

It is totally legit and we couldn't be more happy right now!!! read more

They get the best results. Great at getting what you deserve.

Joshua Valero helped me deal with a 2011 GMC Terrain lemon law case. I received countless letters from Lemon Law lawyers and after speaking with a few of them over the phone I decided on Valero Law. Mr. Valero was professional, knowledgeable and excellent in settling my case in my favor! After 7.5 years of trouble with this car and 93,000 miles later in 10 months he was able to resolve my case and I surrendered my car. The amount of the settlement was almost the full cost of the car and now I own a new, very reliable car! (No more GMC for me.) Mr. Valero was always available for questions via phone, text and email even in the evening and weekends. He explained the entire process in great detail and checked in with me every single step of the way. I highly recommend him, you won't be dissapointed. read more

I highly recommend Joshua Valero if you have issues with your vehicle and think it could be a lemon. I ended up getting way more than what my car is worth and it's all because of Joshua! Thanks again for everything! read more

My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Josh on our lemon law case and we cannot say enough kind words about him. He was incredibly responsive, often answering our emails late at night, thorough and knowledgeable. He reviewed our service documents quickly and was able to guide us through the process.

We're so incredibly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer!! read more

Hire Joshua Valero if you need an attorney who is: reliable, dependable, accountable, patient, thorough, knowledgeable, understandable and can win! I hired Josh Valero for a lemon law suit against GMC in 2017 for my 2012 Chevy Equinox. The case took over a year to win but Josh was consistent, persistent and patient with GM as well as myself. I had never filed a lawsuit before this experience so I was extremely hesitant and suspicious of almost everything Josh asked about. Josh was able to establish enough trust when explaining the lemon law and its lawsuit process that I felt comfortable enough to file my claim. Without Josh, I would not have had enough strength to go against a large vehicle manufacturer without attorney, Josh Valero. Josh and I worked together to establish the best information for the court as possible which I would not have been able to do without Josh's legal knowledge. When GMC finally awarded the check for my vehicle (it was over a year since Josh and I had been working together) Josh drove the check through LA traffic about two hours to deliver it to me by hand. He and I had not met in person until he hand delivered that check to me that day.We won the case completely through emails, pictures and phone calls. Pretty cool to win a case without having to step into a courtroom because your attorney has you covered! Thank you Josh, our family is grateful for your support and defense. read more

It was an easy decision to retain Joshua Valero for my lemon law claim on my Ford F250 truck. Right up front he was willing to discuss details on strategy, timeline, and expectations on my claim before I even signed the retainer. This was a refreshing difference from the other two lawyers that I interviewed. Ford agreed to buy back based on the initial demand letter from Joshua. It took less than 6 months from the point of signing the retainer to surrendering the truck and receiving my check from Ford. Joshua kept me informed all through the process. I highly recommend Joshua. read more

I am total happy working with Joshua Valero and I highly recommend using Valero Law regarding lemon vehicles. My joy of purchasing a brand new Silverado Z71 almost immediately turned into a real nightmare! So glad Joshua Valero took my case and with his hard work we WON!! read more

When I first started having a problem (pistons replaced) with my used 2017 Chevy Cruze Premier I looked online for the issue and found Valero Law. I thought it was weird to see an attorney pop up, I didn't really trust it but decided to call. If you are having any vehicle problems that might be related to being a lemon, call him! He is very professional. He is an attorney who answers when you call or quickly returns your call, same with emails. He explains everything and keeps you updated with what is going on. He was able to get G.M. to buy back my car, at full price ($22,208.97)! He was also able to get the surrender done locally instead of where we purchased it. I cannot praise him enough! Thank you Joshua Valero at Valero Law. read more

Joshua is the best attorney in the business! You can see he is dedicated to his craft. He made my case run smoothly and I received a nice settlement check. I received a letter from him and, at first, I was skeptical. But he explained the law and process very clearly and after a few months, he had a great offer. I fully recommend Valero Law! Best of all, he didn't take ANYTHING out of my recovery as the manufacturer had to pay his fees. Would give more stars if possible! read more

I highly recommend Joshua Valero! Joshua, clearly explained to me the process of how lemon law works, and answered all questions.

I was having some issues with my moms car and I am so glad I found Josh. Although there wasn't much to my moms case, he was willing to help and as a result, the dealership fixed my moms issue free of charge. If you have any car issues, Josh is definitely the attorney to hire! read more

Joshua is incredibly helpful and thorough. He explained every step and process clearly and was incredibly reassuring. He helped me with a faulty transmission situation with Nissan, a process that took about 5 months, and he even escalated my case due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I couldn't be more appreciative and thankful for all of Joshua's help. read more

I rarely write Yelp reviews, but it would be a crime if I did not give a shout out to Valero Law! Josh is one of those few professionals that have the competency to get results, and the "bedside manners" to show empathy for his clients. It sounds over the top but I truly am grateful for what he has done for me......especially during this Covid pandemic. read more

Highly recommend hiring Joshua, I had a problem with water leaking into the trunk of my 2019 Ford Mustang and was able to file a lemon case & receive %100 of the amount I paid for the car, overall great/reliable lawyer. read more

Very impressed with Josh. He took my lemon law case for our 2012 Chevy Sonic when I was told my other attorneys i didn't have a case. Not only did he take it but we are a few days away from getting our check. It's been a long process but worth the wait. Thank you Josh for all your help. read more

Opened a letter in the mail from Valero Law (I never open these usually) and my car had the exact same problem it listed (oil leakedge). Contacted Josh, he explained clearly and consisely the process. He contacted me every month with updates as well as calls. He was always on top of everything and had my interest at heart. 12 months after the initial contact I received a check for $27,000, the full amount we paid for our Chevy Equinox 7 years ago and it had 100,000 miles. GM paid ALL the legal fees ($10,000). Worked out amazingly well, just be patient. I highly recommend Josh and the team!! read more

Joshua Valero is a guy that follows through with what he says. He took my case in Marxmch of 2018 and we just closed in August of 2018. He updated me every step of the way. Joshua was very prompt when following up with things pertaining to my case with Nissan. I follow him on Twitter and he is very up-to-date with the lemon law issues that pertain to many makes of vehicles. Trust Jashua at Velero Law.... I DID!!! read more

I can not thank Joshua enough for all the help and support I received from him through the Lemon Law process. He is someone you can truly trust and is knowledgeable and great at what he does. I'm glad I came across him and again, very appreciative of his work with me. I didn't think my car was going to qualify for the Lemon Law and Joshua was just amazing at helping and explaining the entire process. I would definitely give him 10 out of 5 stars if that was possible. I recommend him and I'm very blessed to have had him help me. read more

I want to thank Joshua at Valero Law again so much for all he did! I did not think I had a stong lemon case against Nissan on my 2014 Nissan Versa. He asked me to send all my service and other paperwork on my Versa and he found reason to continue with my case. In the end, I got back 95 percent of what I paid for my car which was over 5 years old. He is very personable and skilled at helping and he always answered all my questions quickly and made the case go very smooth! I am very happy I found Joshua and highly recommend him if you think you own a vehicle that is a lemon. read more

Hi everyone. I just wanted to take a moment to highly recommend Joshua Valero. I just received my settlement for my GMC Terrain, under lemon law, which Joshua negotiated for me. I received nearly 100% of the amount I paid for my crossover even though I had already had it for 8 years and 120k miles! I won't lie that I was not apprehensive of working with Joshua at first since I found him via a google search. But I read some positive reviews, checked him out with the Bar, and we also spoke on the phone. He struck me as a person of integrity, so I retained him as my attorney to represent me with GMC. Working with Joshua was easy. He was straightforward and always very clear, and took care of explaining matters in detail--verbally and following up by email. Sending him paperwork was all electronically. He was very responsive throughout the process. I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally. I do believe Joshua really has his clients' best interests in mind. I recommend him enthusiastically. read more
