Lemon Law Attorney Law Offices of Sotera L Anderson

I'm not sure if this is the place to leave a review for her estate planning services but Sotera does estate planning as well, meaning wills and trusts. I don't have much but what little I have I want to make sure if anything ever happens to me that the people that rely on me get access to the important lifeline I've been providing in a prompt easy manner. I also wanted to make sure that in a time of grief that things go smoothly and the hard work I've put in during my life doesn't end up going to some court proceeding and then things get sold or whatever during that lapse of access. So, having experienced Sotera's excellent service for a lemon law case I decided to give her a try for an estate planning session. I won't find out in my lifetime if what we put together actually works according to plan and I can only hope it's many many years before anyone finds out, but, I can say her level of professionalism, patience, and understanding exceeded expectations. I have a "partner" and there was no feelings of judgement. She treated me with the most respect and she was very accommodating with appointments and stuff. The process was pretty seamless and the few items I had questions on she was very helpful with. I would certainly recommend her services, if anything for peace of mind but given how effective she was at handling the lemon law issue, I'm pretty confident when needed, hopefully in the far distant future that everything is in order. Also, to anyone who doesn't think they need this service, don't leave your family in a hard situation, my brother passed a little over a year ago and he had no information, not even anything written on a napkin. So anything he worked for nobody knows. I certainly wouldn't be happy if any of my hard work was inaccessible to my family, especially the ones who rely on anything I've worked for.

Sotera Anderson successfully assisted us with our lemon law case. The manufacturer took back the vehicle, paid off the outstanding balance of our loan and paid us back all we had paid to date. She made us whole.

The joy of purchasing a new vehicle quickly turned to a prolonged frustration when it became apparent that we purchased a lemon. Choosing an attorney seemed daunting at first. Through our search for firms that specialize in lemon law cases, we came across the website for The Law Offices of Sotera L. Anderson. We were impressed with Ms. Sotera's amount of experience including her previous work representing manufacturers. Reading through her resume on her website, we felt that she was well qualified, experienced and a contributing member to her profession and her community.

Minutes after submitting our contact info on her website, we received a call. She is very personable. We submitted details of our case, she reviewed it and we became her clients. From that point forward, there were no more worries. We were well taken care of.

We live in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles County. She has offices in Los Angeles and San Diego which would have made in-person visits convenient. However, our case began and was completed during the pandemic. Phone calls and emails were thorough and efficient. She responded promptly and kept us up to date as to her actions involving the court, the manufacturer and in requesting information as needed from us. The process on her part went smoothly.

From what we learned, the manufacturer and their attorneys are not in a hurry to resolve your case in your favor, and they are not acting in your best interest. Sotera understands the process, she explains what the manufacturers actions and motives are, and she proceeds with her obvious outstanding knowledge and experience in pushing for a favorable outcome.

Although we hope to never again purchase a lemon, we know that if we do, we will be contacting Sotera. We recommend her with enthusiasm, and we are so happy that she helped us.

Sotera was amazing at explaining the entire Lemon Law process to us. We had been dealing with Ford for over a year, trying to resolve a known transmission issue with our 2015 Fiesta, and no solution in sight. She advised us on the paperwork we needed to keep track of, and took over the rest once she was ready to take on the case.

She was able to get us more than we ever expected to receive, and with that money we were able to purchase a safer, more reliable car for our family.

Sotera was an absolute pleasure to work with and we highly recommend giving her call if you want to get results...and quickly!

Sotera did a great job for me. I was very pleased with the settlement and Sotera kept me informed throughout.


One piece of advice - do not bother making repairs to the car. Even if the automakers wants you to pay for repairs, they will often charge you less than if you got the work done yourself.

Sotera recommended I make these repairs in advance, but that's only because it minimizes risk on her part (Which I don't fault her for). This is the ONLY thing I would event remotely divert from Sotera's advice. She really knows her stuff!

Hello, Sotero Anderson assisted me with a very difficult Motorcycle case in San Diego. Ms. Anderson was extremely professional throughout our interaction, was able to get me my money back in full (and some), and got her payment from the manufacturer with no cost out of my pocket. Whether or not she's able to do the same for you, I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Sotero Anderson for any Lemon Law issues you think you might have. If anything, she'll steer you toward your best option! She's amazing.

If you're interested in my story:

I purchased a brand new motorcycle in 2016 and shortly after, about a month or so, it began failing electrically and shutting down mid-ride. The dealer repair could not figure out what was wrong after multiple attempts. I would keep getting the bike back and the same issue came up. Eventually, the dealer told me they couldn't do anything. They said that the bike was faulty requiring me to deal with the manufacturer directly for a replacement or refund. I asked for a replacement or refund and I was denied both by the manufacturer. I reached out to a couple lawyers in the area and was turned immediately, and very luckily towards Ms. Anderson. To clarify, the recommendation was that she was "the best" with regards to lemon law cases and I believe they were right. Ms. Anderson immediately sought to help me in any way she could and maintained consistent contact throughout the entire case. To give a little more background, at the time I was a full time college student, full time worker (between two jobs), and pursuing commission in the US Air Force. Basically, I had absolutely no extra time to handle this legal battle and the sunk cost of the bike would have put me under. Ms. Anderson took all the stress and pressure off my back. She kept me informed and gave me straight forward options that broke through legal jargon. The case in total lasted a year until we were able to get a good settlement from the manufacturer. In the end, Ms. Anderson handled everything. She earned my respect from day one and I think she would do the same for anyone else she assists. Definitely give her your business and take her advice as sincere.

I am giving Sotera 5 stars. I contacted her about my 2016 Ford explore that kept breaking down. She was friendly and very informative. She provided me with different options on how I could deal with my situation. Once the process started she kept me informed on what was going on and in the end we were able to return my car and get my money back. I was very impressed with how she took care of things. An added bonus, I live in Hesperia California and I never once had to drive to her office to get the job done. She was amazing and I would work with her again in a heart beat.

I live in San Diego. I had a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi, which was the initial year this car was made with a new variable transmission. My car was in the shop numerous times with complicated transmission issues. I reached out to Sotera Anderson after reading several reviews on different attorney options. Sotera gave detailed consideration to my case and decided to take it on, with no promises being made. This was not a clear cut Lemon Law case. Sotera's understanding of the law is top notch! Her experience in dealing with Ford was essential to settling this case. There is no doubt in my mind that if I had any other attorney Ford may not have settled with me. Sotera was even able to get more than what the state law formula projected! If you're having repeated problems with your car, and you want to know if it's a Lemon Law case, then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you reach out to Sotera first! She will give you an honest opinion. If she take the case, your job is to get all of the information she needs in a timely matter. This ultimately helps your case move quickly and helps Sotera increase leverage. If it's not obvious already, this was a very good experience and I cannot thank Sotera enough in helping me against Ford!

Attorney Anderson is great to work with, she's reliable, punctual, extremely knowledgeable and I highly recommend her without reservation.

My husband and I were about to give up. We were having major repair issues with our car and contacted several lawyers trying to find someone who understood and would be willing to help us. They all said no but then we found Sotera. She listened to our story and looked into the matter before even agreeing to take our case. We were so grateful when she did take us on as clients. She was super easy to work with, and always available and responsive, and answered all of our questions. She fought for us and won our case that none of the other lawyers thought was worth their time. If you're dealing with dealer fraud, or a lemon car or anything similar to that and think you may need a lawyer, even if you aren't sure you have a strong enough case, I highly recommend contacting Sotera. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with the job she did for my husband and I. Let her help you. If she can't help you then I don't think anyone can.
