Kimmel & Silverman, a nationally recognized automotive lemon law and consumer advocacy firm, has opened the nation’s first ever home lemon law practice, dedicated to providing legal assistance to home owners who suffer defects related to new construction, renovation, and installation of major components. The firm has created a new website, www.HomeLemonLaw.com, to educate consumers and outline legal protections that may apply. Using Federal law (Magnuson Moss Warranty Act), Kimmel & Silverman plans to offer contractor fraud legal representation at no cost. Should the consumer prevail, the recovery of all attorney fees and court costs are recoverable in addition to the amount recovered for the homeowner. “For 15 years, we have applied the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act for consumer claims at no cost to clients. Many people are unaware that this help is available when going up against billion-dollar manufacturers,” says Founding Partner Craig Thor Kimmel. Based on April 2007 figures recently released, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 981,000 homes will be sold in 2007, and many more will go through significant renovation and remodeling. Kimmel & Silverman have found that the market for home improvements has accelerated as well. They have seen a rising number of calls asking for help with these types of problems and have pledged to assist consumers in cases involving home improvement fraud including defective materials, mold, siding, foundations, floors, windows, drywall installation, flooring, ceilings, fireplaces, roof, retaining walks, soil erosion and other claims. In addition, home lemon law legal representation will be offered for shoddy workmanship, deception and/or fraud related to work provided by building contractors and installers. “Because many states fail to require certification for home improvement contractors, the quality of work done for a given task varies greatly. Some contractors are simply not capable of completing what they undertake, or fail to complete the work as necessary,” says Kimmel. “There is a tremendous problem when contractors fail to have insurance to cover for damage or loss of property they cause, and unfortunately, the absence of insurance is widespread.” More : 24-7pressrelease.com |

Myrtle Beach, S.C., Home Buyers, Builders Disagree on Construction Oversight.
Jun. 8--John and Mary Leiter of Briarcliffe Acres did everything housing insiders encourage home buyers to do -- conducted background checks and researched the property before buying. But they still found themselves with a home full of hidden damage. "There were no alarm bells. Nobody said anything," Mary Leiter said. The Leiters and others believe consumer protection for home buyers in South Carolina should be stronger. They say the General Assembly should consider tougher laws, and the state should make the industry's regulatory commission more powerful. Industry officials and state regulators say laws and oversight of home builders and private
Homeowners call for ’lemon law’ legislation1
A homeowner advocacy group demanded a "lemon law" for buying homes Tuesday in front of the Texas Capitol. Janet Ahmad, Home Owners for Better Building president, said lack of regulation in the home-building industry and problems with homeowners' insurance in Texas hang consumers out to dry. "The building industry is out of control," she said. "We will explore all legal means to protect homeowners from predatory companies." Ahmad proposed a home lemon law that would work much like the lemon law that applies to cars, in which the seller gets three opportunities to fix it, and then the seller must buy it back. Sen.

The Record, Hackensack, N.J., Kevin DeMarrais column.
-Substitute "existing" for "new," and the recent State Commission of Investigation report on home construction was all too familiar. That's why New Jersey consumers need to be concerned about its seemingly sound recommendations. The report, issued 10 days ago, was a blistering analysis of the home-building industry in New Jersey, a frightening tale of waste, fraud and incompetence among builders and municipal inspectors. Talk about deja vu! For more than a decade, those same terms were often heard in legislative debates over problems with home-repair contractors and home inspectors. Before you builders come after me with hammers drawn, let's be
