Editorial Policy and Sourcing

SkyRidge Law publishes guides about a narrow area of law: what vehicle owners can do when a new vehicle has a defect the manufacturer won't or can't fix. People use these pages to make real decisions about money and deadlines, so we hold them to a few firm rules. This page explains those rules.

Who writes these pages

Authors. Gregory R. Jacobs wrote the guides in /guides/. Everything else comes from the SkyRidge Law Editorial Team, the writers and editors who produce this site for SkyRidge Law. You'll find the author's name at the top of each page.

Responsible attorney. Gregory R. Jacobs, State Bar of Texas No. 10517300, is the lawyer named as responsible for this site.

Where our facts come from

We rely on primary sources wherever they exist, in this order:

1. Each state's lemon law statute, read on the official legislature or code website wherever it is available, and the state's regulations where a state agency runs a lemon law program.
2. Federal law, including the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act at 15 U.S.C. §§ 2301–2312, the FTC's rules at 16 C.F.R. Parts 700–703, and Federal Trade Commission guidance.
3. Publications from state attorneys general, consumer protection offices and motor vehicle agencies.

Where an agency publication and the current statute disagree, we follow the statute and note the difference. When an official site is unavailable, we read the text from a reputable mirror that reproduces the official text, link readers to the official source, and recheck it when the official site is reachable again.

We don't use competitor websites, forum posts, AI-generated summaries, or unattributed statistics as sources for legal facts. If we can't verify something from a reliable source, we leave it out or say plainly that the point is unsettled.

How pages are checked

1. The author drafts the page from the sources above and lists every source at the bottom.
2. An editor checks each legal statement against its source, including section numbers, deadlines, dollar amounts set by rule, and quoted language.
3. When a statute, a rule or an agency procedure changes, affected pages are revised and checked again.

These checks are about accuracy as general information. They don't mean the page answers your specific situation. Only a lawyer who has looked at your documents can do that.

Use of AI tools

Our writers may use AI software to help research, outline, or draft. It never has the last word. Every page is edited by a person and checked against primary sources before it publishes. We don't use AI to create testimonials, reviews, case results, quotes, or credentials.

Advertising rules we follow

This site is attorney advertising. That means:

• the responsible attorney and principal office are named on every page,
• we don't promise results or suggest that past outcomes predict future ones,
• we don't give anyone a specialty title or claim special competence,
• we don't use unverifiable superlatives,
• we don't publish testimonials or reviews unless they are real, verifiable, and published with the required disclaimers.
