FOUR CONNECTED AREAS
Understand the problem.
Find the right starting point.
A problem with your home can involve a seller, installer, lender, or warranty provider. These four areas explain the kinds of concerns Lex Bellator handles. More than one may apply to the same purchase or project.
01
Solar Disputes
Questions about what you were sold, how your solar system works, or who is responsible for resolving a problem. The review may involve a purchase, a lease, or an agreement to buy the electricity the panels produce.
- Savings or utility bills differ from the sales explanation.
- The system is not working as expected or has not been activated.
- Service requests leave questions about the agreement unanswered.
02
Financing Disputes
Questions about the loan used to pay for your solar system or home project. The starting point is comparing the price and payments you were told about with the loan documents, statements, and notices you received.
- A monthly payment changes or is higher than expected.
- The amount borrowed, fees, or payment conditions are unclear.
- A bill or payment record does not match your understanding.
03
Construction & Warranty
Questions about the work a contractor agreed to do, the condition of the finished project, or a promise to repair it. Equipment warranties and installation warranties may involve different companies, so identifying each company’s role matters.
- Work is incomplete, delayed, or different from the agreement.
- Installation problems or damage to your home remain unresolved.
- Repair requests or warranty claims have not received a clear response.
04
Consumer Protection
Questions about statements or sales practices that influenced your decision. A review looks at the specific promise, what you understood, the written terms, and the problem that followed.
- A salesperson’s explanation differs from the written agreement.
- Important costs or conditions were not clearly explained.
- The company has not addressed a concern about the sale.
One project can raise several concerns. For example, a solar installation may involve sales promises, a separate loan, and a roof repair. When you contact the office, name each company you know about and explain what each one did.

Want to compare a monthly cost?Optional · See the difference over a period you choose.
Make the numbers easier to explain.
Compare the same kind of monthly cost on both sides. For a solar-cost comparison, include the utility bill and any solar loan, lease, or power-purchase payment in each total. Use matching periods and explain any seasonal differences.
Illustrative figures only. Change them to see the arithmetic. Example figures cannot be added to your draft.
Amounts from $0 to $100,000, with up to two decimal places. The comparison assumes the same monthly difference for every selected month.

This is arithmetic, not a damages estimate or a prediction of recovery. Actual bills can vary.
03 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Start with a clear question.
Your selection gives you a starting point. Edit the note to match what actually happened, then add it to the inquiry form below.
Your choices and calculator entries stay in this page until you choose to add them to the form and submit it. No inquiry is sent by exploring.
You can review the form before choosing “Submit Request.”
An organizational guide, not a legal assessment. Exploring a situation does not establish a claim, identify liability, or create an attorney-client relationship.
MAKE THE INFORMATION CLEARER
What to gather.
Why it helps.
Records help connect what you were promised, what you agreed to, and what actually happened. Keep the documents you already have together. You do not need a complete file before making an initial inquiry.
CONNECT THE DETAILS / 01
What were you told, and what did you sign?
Start with the information that influenced your decision. A sales proposal can show the expected price or savings; the signed agreement can identify the work, payment terms, and companies involved.
If a promise was made in a conversation, write down who said it, approximately when, and what you remember. Mark anything you are unsure about.
DOCUMENTS AND DETAILS THAT HELP
- Before the sale: proposals, advertisements, estimates, and messages explaining the offer.
- The agreement: the full contract, loan or lease documents, and any later agreed changes.
- Who was involved: names of the seller, installer, lender, and service or warranty provider.
CONNECT THE DETAILS / 02
What happened after the agreement?
Use dates and records to describe the work, the payments, and the problem. This helps distinguish an unfinished project, a performance concern, and a billing issue—even when they affect the same home.
Describe what you observed without guessing about a technical cause. Where you can, connect each photograph, bill, or notice to a date in your timeline.
DOCUMENTS AND DETAILS THAT HELP
- Work and condition: dated photographs, completion notices, inspections, and repair reports.
- Money paid: invoices, receipts, loan statements, and notices of payment changes.
- Solar performance: system production records and utility bills for the same period.
CONNECT THE DETAILS / 03
What have you already tried to resolve?
Keep your requests and the company’s replies in date order. They can show when the concern was raised, what response or repair was offered, and what still needs attention.
End your timeline with a short description of the current problem and the help you want to discuss. Include any notice or approaching date so it can be identified early.
DOCUMENTS AND DETAILS THAT HELP
- Your requests: emails, texts, support tickets, and notes of calls or appointments.
- The responses: repair plans, explanations, complaint confirmations, or promises to follow up.
- What remains: unresolved items, additional costs, and questions the company has not answered.
Start with a general summary in the contact form. It does not accept document uploads. Ask the office how to provide records if they are requested; leave account numbers and confidential documents out of your initial message.
HOW WE HELP
How a review begins.
What each step means.
An inquiry starts a conversation about whether the firm can help. The steps below explain what to share, why records may be requested, and what needs to be discussed before representation begins.
THE REVIEW PROCESS / 01
Tell us what happened in your own words.
Call the office or use the contact form to describe the purchase or project, the companies involved, and your main concern. A short, clear explanation is enough to make the first connection; you do not need to identify a legal claim.
- Include the basics: the property’s state, approximate dates, and the company or contractor names you know.
- Explain the difference: what you expected, what happened, and how it is affecting you.
- Identify your question: what you want help understanding or resolving, including any approaching date.
Submitting a request asks the office to contact you. It does not open a case or hire the firm.Read about our approach
THE REVIEW PROCESS / 02
Help connect the agreement to the problem.
If additional information is needed, the office may ask for documents or a clearer timeline. The purpose is to understand the relevant promises, payments, work, and company responses before discussing whether the matter is a fit.
- Keep the full documents: include all pages of agreements and any changes you received.
- Separate facts from questions: say what you know, what records show, and what you still need explained.
- Explain missing items: tell the office if you do not have a document or do not know a company’s role.
Gather what you have. Ask how to share records before sending sensitive information.Read about our approach
THE REVIEW PROCESS / 03
Understand the proposed work and cost.
If the firm is able to consider representing you, discuss the options that fit the facts and your goals. Depending on the matter, that discussion may include communication with a company, negotiation, or legal proceedings. No particular approach or result is guaranteed.
- The work: what the firm would agree to handle and what would remain outside that agreement.
- The cost: proposed attorney fees, other expenses, and how and when they would be paid.
- The responsibilities: what information you would provide, how communication would work, and the next agreed action.
Representation begins only when you and the firm agree to it. Ask questions before deciding how to proceed.Read about our approach
BEFORE YOU CONTACT US
A few practical questions,
answered plainly.
Open a question for more detail about getting started. For questions specific to your situation, call the office.
Does sending the form make me a client?
No. The form sends an inquiry so the office can consider your request and contact you. An acknowledgment confirms receipt only. It does not mean the firm has accepted your matter or agreed to take action on your behalf. Representation requires an agreement with the firm.
Is there a charge for a review or for legal work?
Ask the office whether an initial review has a charge. If representation is proposed, ask for an explanation of the attorney fees, possible additional costs, payment arrangements, and work included. This website does not quote a fee or promise a free review.
What if I do not have every document?
You can make an initial inquiry with a general summary. Tell the office what records you have and what is missing. If more information is needed, ask which documents would be useful and how to provide them. The contact form has no attachment field.
What if several companies or problems are involved?
Choose the closest topic and describe the related issues in your summary. List the seller, installer, lender, or warranty provider if you know their names. You do not have to decide which company is responsible before asking the office to review your concern.
Can the firm help where my property is located?
Include the property’s state when you contact the office. The firm will need to confirm whether it can assist with your location and type of matter. The topics on this website do not mean every inquiry can be accepted.
What if I have an approaching date or an urgent notice?
Call (888) 742-2880 and identify the date, notice, and company involved. Do not assume that submitting a form means the firm has agreed to respond by a deadline or act for you. Ask the office to clarify whether it can assist and what, if anything, it has agreed to do.
