🚗⚖️ Mediations in Lemon Law cases — what are they and why do they matter? If your Lemon Law case feels like it’s dragging on, mediation could be the turning point. Mediation is an opportunity for you and the manufacturer to sit down early in the case with a neutral third party — often a retired judge or experienced attorney — whose job is to help resolve the dispute. During mediation, the neutral hears from both sides, reviews the issues, weighs the defenses, and works toward a fair resolution.
