Women-Led Legal Team at Prestige Legal Solutions, P.C.® Prevails Over Mercedes-Benz in Landmark Lemon Law Ruling

All-female team at Prestige Legal Solutions triumphs over Mercedes-Benz, closing a three-year legal fight with a major win.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- An all-female team of attorneys at Prestige Legal Solutions, P.C.^® (PLS), the powerhouse firm behind LemonLaws.com, achieved a major legal win as their 3-year battle finally came to a conclusion on April 4, 2025 by defeating two summary judgment motions filed by Mercedes-Benz in a case involving the purchase of a dealer demonstrator vehicle. The over $250,000 settlement win against one of the world’s largest automakers underscores the strength and precision of PLS’s litigation strategy.

This pivotal case was brought and argued by a female team of attorneys who demonstrated relentless dedication, legal creativity, and a deep commitment to justice. Leading the team on this groundbreaking litigation were Michelle Yang, Esq. and Armig Khodanian, Esq., Managing Partners of Prestige Legal Solutions, one of the nation’s fastest-growing, women-led firms specializing in lemon law, and the driving force behind LemonLaws.com. As Mercedes-Benz refused to offer a reasonable settlement during this 3-year legal battle, PLS remained resolute when fighting for their client. This underscores the critical importance of having strong legal representation when facing powerful manufacturers that do not prioritize consumer interests.

The case, which has been litigated for over three years, centers on a developing area of law with a split in legal authority. At stake was whether a Mercedes-Benz dealer-owned demonstrator vehicle, previously used by dealership employees before being sold to a consumer, qualifies for protection under California’s lemon law. Mercedes-Benz claimed the vehicle was “used” and therefore not subject to certain consumer protections. The court’s decision to deny both motions represents a key win for consumers and could influence similar cases statewide.

“This case is about more than just one car, it’s about protecting consumers from unfair practices, even when they’re up against a global brand,” said PLS Founder and Managing Partner, Michelle Yang, Esq. “We’ve been fighting this battle for three years, and this ruling shows that persistence and principle still matter in the courtroom.”

Fueled by their commitment to consumer protection, PLS is expanding beyond California to ensure that consumers across the country have access to the advocacy they deserve. The recent growth of PLS into Washington state reflects their dedication to standing up for consumer rights on a larger scale.

PLS’ advocacy extends beyond the courtroom as General Partners, Michelle Yang, Esq. And Armig Khodanian, Esq. took their voices to the California state capitol, speaking directly with lawmakers and senators to push back against the changing legal landscape of consumer protection laws. These changes, backed by auto manufacturers, are eroding consumer protection laws and placing a greater burden on everyday people seeking justice.

PLS Managing Partner, Armig Khodanian, Esq. added, “It’s not every day you take on a powerhouse like Mercedes-Benz and come out on top, especially in a case where the legal landscape is still evolving. This win is meaningful, but having three young women lead the charge makes it truly powerful.”

This victory sends a strong message: consumers have rights and those rights don’t disappear just because the other side has deep pockets.

Case number 01252391 took place in Orange County, California Superior Court.
