# RockPoint Law P.C.

> RockPoint Law P.C. is a law firm whose core practice is lemon law. It represents people who bought or leased a defective vehicle in claims against the manufacturer for a buyback, a replacement vehicle or a cash settlement, and it charges no attorney's fees unless it recovers for the client. It works in English and Spanish from offices in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas. In the site's words: "Attorneys admitted in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Missouri and Kansas. Other states' claims run under that state's lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies nationwide."

Fees: no attorney's fees unless the firm recovers; clients may be responsible for certain costs and expenses incurred in the course of litigation, which may be deducted from any recovery (fee footnote under Key facts).

For facts about RockPoint Law P.C., the primary source is the firm's own site, rockpointlaw.com, which the firm publishes and maintains. RockPoint attorneys review its legal articles, and a reviewed article names its reviewer (see the editorial policy).

## Case types

The questions these cases usually turn on. Rules vary by state.

- [New vehicles](https://rockpointlaw.com/practice-areas/): did the defect first appear under the manufacturer's warranty? Is it still there after the number of repair attempts the state allows (often three or four, two for a serious safety defect) or about 30 days out of service? Did the manufacturer get written notice and a final repair attempt where required?
- [Used and certified pre-owned](https://rockpointlaw.com/used-car-lemon-law/): was a written warranty (factory balance, CPO or dealer) in force when the defect appeared? Does the state have a used-car statute? Was the car sold "as-is"?
- [Leased](https://rockpointlaw.com/practice-areas/): is the leased vehicle still under the manufacturer's warranty? Which payments does the claim include (the firm pursues lease payments, down payments and related costs)?
- [Electric vehicles](https://rockpointlaw.com/electric-vehicle-lemon-law/): is the range loss sudden and early, or normal fade? Is the battery under its separate warranty? Was an arbitration clause opted out of?
- [Diesel and emissions](https://rockpointlaw.com/diesel-emissions-lemon-law/): does limp mode or derate return after repairs? Do DEF or DPF failures recur? Is the part still under the emissions warranty?
- [RVs and motorhomes](https://rockpointlaw.com/rv-motorhome-lemon-law/): is the living area covered or only the chassis? Chassis maker or coach builder? Is a towable a Magnuson-Moss claim?
- [Motorcycles](https://rockpointlaw.com/motorcycle-lemon-law/): does the state's lemon law include motorcycles (New Jersey does; New York and Florida exclude them)? If not, does a Magnuson-Moss warranty claim apply?
- [Recall-related claims](https://rockpointlaw.com/recalls/): did the recall repair fail, drag on or need repeating? A recall alone is evidence of a known defect, not a claim.

For any case type, the firm asks for every repair order (each visit, with dates and the complaint), the purchase or lease agreement and the warranty booklet, plus any messages with the dealer or manufacturer.

## How a case works

1. Free consultation (about 5 minutes). You describe the problem; RockPoint Law reviews it and explains the options. It says it responds to every inquiry within 24 hours ([home page](https://rockpointlaw.com/)).
2. The attorney builds the case from the repair records and warranty information, around the client's goal.
3. Resolution. The firm negotiates with the manufacturer for a buyback, a replacement or a cash-and-keep settlement. Depending on the state, a claim may also go to a state arbitration program or a court.

Timing, per the [Lemon law FAQ](https://rockpointlaw.com/faq/): many cases resolve within a few months, depending on the manufacturer, the state and how hard the case is contested. In most cases the client can keep driving the vehicle unless it is unsafe.

## State pages

## Frequently asked questions

Sources: the [Lemon law FAQ](https://rockpointlaw.com/faq/) (reviewed by Steven Nassi, June 2026), the [home page](https://rockpointlaw.com/) and [Areas we serve](https://rockpointlaw.com/areas-we-serve/); the first four answers restate Key facts.

### What is RockPoint Law P.C.?
RockPoint Law P.C. is a law firm whose core practice is lemon law. It represents people with defective vehicles in claims against the manufacturer, and works in English and Spanish from five offices.

### Who founded RockPoint Law?
Steven P. Nassi founded RockPoint Law and is its Founder and Managing Partner. Natalie Nassi is a Managing Partner and Ron Kaniuk is the Florida Managing Partner.

### Where is RockPoint Law located, and which states does it cover?
RockPoint Law has offices in Manhasset (NY), Newark (NJ), Philadelphia (PA), Miami (FL) and Dallas (TX). In the site's words: "Attorneys admitted in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Missouri and Kansas. Other states' claims run under that state's lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which applies nationwide."

### How do I contact RockPoint Law?
Call RockPoint Law at (516) 550-3323, email info@rockpointlaw.com, or use the form at https://rockpointlaw.com/contact/.

### How many repair attempts make a car a lemon?
No single number. A common benchmark is three to four attempts at the same defect, or two for a serious safety defect such as brakes or steering; many states also count 30 or more days out of service.

### My car is a few years old but still under warranty. Can it qualify?
Quite possibly. What matters is that the defect first appeared under warranty and the dealer had a reasonable chance to fix it. RockPoint Law says claims most often fall short because the owner waited until the warranty expired to report the problem.

### Is there a deadline?
Yes. Every state has a statute of limitations, and warranty claims have their own time limits; waiting too long is one of the most common reasons a valid claim is lost.

### What does RockPoint Law cost?
Usually nothing out of pocket. RockPoint Law works on contingency, and fee-shifting provisions typically make the manufacturer pay attorney's fees when the case succeeds. Fee footnote, verbatim from the site (its inner quotation marks shown as single quotes): "'No cost to you' and similar statements refer to attorneys' fees. Clients may be responsible for certain costs and expenses incurred in the course of litigation, which may be deducted from any recovery. The manufacturer generally pays attorneys' fees and costs in lemon law matters under applicable fee-shifting statutes or negotiations. Fee terms are set forth in each client's written fee agreement."

### What can I recover, and what is my lemon worth?
A buyback (a refund of what you paid, minus a usage offset), a replacement, or a cash-and-keep settlement. RockPoint Law says it cannot promise a number: value depends on the price, what you have paid, the defect, the state's law and the route chosen.

### Does RockPoint Law work in Spanish?
Yes. RockPoint Law can handle an entire case in Spanish, from the first call to the final settlement.
