What really happens when a dealership sells a vehicle with rolled-back mileage, undisclosed damage, forged paperwork, hidden warranty problems—or a car that simply can’t stay out of the repair shop? On this episode of Legally Exhausted, Abe Ovadia sits down with Florida attorney Joshua Feygin, a consumer protection attorney whose practice has taken him deep inside the world of automobile fraud, warranty disputes, defective vehicles, and dealership litigation. Joshua explains how he found his way into this highly specialized area of law after graduating from FIU Law and why cases involving car dealerships quickly became an important part of his practice. What started with researching a dealership dispute eventually turned into years of uncovering some remarkable—and sometimes unbelievable—situations involving consumers and the automotive industry. Abe and Joshua dig into odometer rollbacks, including how mileage manipulation can still happen with modern vehicles and how attorneys can sometimes identify discrepancies through vehicle computers, title histories, repair records, and other evidence. Joshua also discusses undisclosed accident history, missing airbags, questionable financing practices, forged documents, arbitration clauses, and why consumers need to perform their own due diligence instead of relying solely on what they're told at the dealership. The conversation also breaks down an important distinction many car owners don't understand: Florida Lemon Law versus federal warranty claims under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Joshua explains why a vehicle may still present a viable warranty claim even when it doesn't fit neatly within traditional Lemon Law requirements—and why used-car owners may have options in certain circumstances as well. They also get into some truly wild cases, including dealership and exotic-car consignment situations, vehicles allegedly sold without authorization, dealerships disappearing, and the difficulties of recovering money when the people behind a business attempt to walk away. But this episode goes well beyond cars. Abe and Joshua have an extensive conversation about artificial intelligence and the legal profession—how law firms are already using AI for research, intake, document review, pattern recognition and case organization, as well as the serious risks of relying on AI-generated legal work without verifying it. They discuss hallucinated case law, confidentiality concerns, the enormous amount of personal data consumers provide to technology platforms, and what AI could mean for lawyers and other professions in the years ahead. Joshua also shares how his automotive background—including growing up around his father's body shop—helps him understand vehicle problems from both a mechanical and legal perspective. And, because it's Legally Exhausted, the conversation doesn't stay behind the legal desk. Abe and Joshua talk cars, Jeeps, coffee, family, skeet shooting, George Carlin, Back to the Future, and what the future might look like when AI becomes part of everyday professional life. It’s a fascinating conversation about cars, fraud, consumer rights, technology, business, and the rapidly changing practice of law.
