About

Over the past seventeen years, as Senior Attorney for our Eastern and Western Pennsylvania offices,  I have provided cost-free legal help to thousands of distressed drivers throughout the Keystone State.   Many consumers do not realize that under State Lemon Laws and Federal Warranty Laws, consumers can receive completely free legal represention thanks to fee-shifting provisions.  These provisions state that if the consumer prevails, the manufacturer must pay all attorneys fees and legal costs in addition to recovery.  At our firm, Kimmel and Silverman, clients pay nothing out of their pocket win or lose.  Potential remedies could include a complete repurchase, a brand new vehicle, or significant monetary compensation and continued ownwership of your vehicle. Our firm is the oldest and largest in the Northeast, offering help throughout fifiteen states.  In addition to a tremedously dedicated legal team, we have three certified ASE mechanic experts on our staff, handling inspections for all of our clients at no charge.   Our efforts have been featured in numerous television programs, including Good Morning America, Nightline, the CBS Early Show, and Extra.  We have also been written about in Consumer Reports, USA Today, and Kiplingers Personal Finance Magazine.  We are tremendously proud to be the only firm of our kind ever honored by the American Bar Association. If you have questions about your defective car, truck, or motorcycle, feel free to drop me a line, visit our website at www.lemonlaw.com or give us a call at 1-800-LEMON-LAW (1-800-536-6652).  You have nothing to lose but your lemon.

Bob represented me for my lemon law case. The auto company tried many tricks in an attempt to defeat my claim, but Bob overcame them all and won for me. It was clear to me that he felt it was important to win my case for me. I feel he went above and beyond what was needed in my case.

Very professional approach to my case. Mr. Rapkin fought huge behemoth, Mercedes USA and won my case for me. MBUSA agreed to repurchase my car under the Lemon Law. Overall, highly recommended.

Mr. Rapkin obtained a full refund for us on our 2014 Ford Focus that had transmission problems. He was very professional and honest and exceeded our expectations. Fully recommend him to anyone driving a lemon.

Mr. Rapkin managed our lemon law case. During our 8 month waiting period, Mr. Rapkin and his staff kept in contact with us and told us what to expect each step of the way. We were very happy with the outcome of our case and we would definitely recommend Mr. Robert Rapkin.

Robert and his team did a great job in open communication during the entire process. I did not know what to expect or what was expected of me but he and his team kept the process moving forward, much appreciated! The end result was in our favor which was the best end to this very unpleasant experience with the vehicle we purchased. All is well now! Thanks!

I started working with Mr Rapkin in the beginning of January, and by the beginning of February, my case with an automotive manufacturer was settled. Mr Rapkin personally called me to talk about the offer. Couldn’t have asked for a quicker or more efficient process. Mr Rapkin got further in a month than I could in 4.5 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I had been having many problems with my 2012 Ford Focus transmission. Attorney Robert Rapkin and his staff worked quickly, always kept me up to date, and obtained more in a settlement that I expected to get from the Ford Motor Company. I highly recommend that you let him work for you.

I bought a 2013 from Simmons Rockwell in Hallstead. Apparently there was a problem with the transmission for the owner before me because he left the repair receipt in the glove box. I was given the impression that it was repaired and it was in "like new" condition until about a week into owning it. Since then my vehicle has been in and out of the repair shop a total of almost six months (I purchased it in May 2014). I called Kimmel and Silverman because a friend of mine used them 10 years ago and they were still around. I figured they must know what they are doing, and THEY DO!!! I dealt with Chelsea and she was thorough and polite the whole time. I felt comfortable right from the start. Attorney Rapkin represented me as if I was one of his family, he explained everything to make me aware of the process and won me the highest amount offered for my type of warrantee breach of contract. I recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.
