RW has also handled appeals in multiple jurisdictions, and is responsible for several seminal decisions interpreting warranty and lemon laws, including DiCintio v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., 97 N.Y.2d 463, 768 N.E.2d 1121, 742 N.Y.S.2d 182 (2002) (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act does not apply to leased vehicles) and DaimlerChrysler Corp. v.
