Law Firm Overview FREE CONSULTATION

Emge & Associates is located in San Diego, California. Our attorneys are proud to represent consumers and employees who have suffered or know about illegal mistreatment by employers and large businesses. When someone stands up for what is right, we have the capability and determination to stand with them and defend their employee rights.

Our firm is committed to providing the kind of comprehensive, cost-effective representation our clients deserve. We accept only a small, select group of cases. When you come to us, you will get personal attention — you will be treated like a person, not a case file. Your case will be handled by an experienced lawyer from beginning to end, never passed off to an inexperienced associate or paralegal.

Most importantly, we tailor our representation to the specific needs of every client. A victim of an unfair business practice has different needs than that of an employee who has not been paid all wages due. A whistleblower in a government qui tam case requires strict confidentiality and aggressive representation. We take pride in developing innovative, effective solutions for the variety of issues our clients face. We handle our cases on a contingency basis, thus allowing greater access to the courts for our clients.

Areas of Law Description

Emge & Associates represents clients in the following areas of practice:

- Employment Law

The lawyers at Emge & Associates will meet with you free of charge to discuss the specifics of your case. Often, we may discover that your co-workers have also been treated illegally. We are specifically structured to handle complex employee class action lawsuits.

• Wage and Hour Laws

At Emge & Associates in San Diego, California, we believe that employees should be paid for all the hours they work. Both the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and California wage and hour laws make it illegal to not pay employees the money they have earned.

• Worker Misclassification

This worker misclassification is illegal, and the lawyers of Emge & Associates are devoted to taking companies who break these laws to court. In a free initial consultation, our employment law attorneys can meet with you and figure out whether employee misclassification has occurred.

• Employee Class Action

Often when a person is the victim of an employer's labor code violations, he or she is uneasy at the thought of challenging the company alone. Sometimes it simply isn't worth the trouble; the possible gains are too small to make a lawsuit or other confrontation worthwhile, and the company may just ignore.

• Expense Reimbursement Claims

When an employer requires an employee to wear a uniform, they must provide those uniforms or reimburse the employee for what the company required them to purchase. Many employers refuse to properly reimburse their employees. At Emge & Associates, we represent employees who do not receive expense reimbursement as the law states.

• Employee Class Action Lawsuits

Hiring an experienced class action litigation lawyer can strengthen your position against employers. The lawyers of San Diego-based Emge & Associates are very experienced in handling class action lawsuits against powerful businesses and large employers.

- Consumer Fraud Law

At Emge & Associates, our lawyers vigorously represent California consumers in pursuit of remedying consumer fraud. We have a thorough understanding of the consumer laws in California that help protect consumers' best interests. Attorneys Derek and Suzanne Emge have successfully represented hundreds of thousands of Californians.

• False Advertising Claims

At the law firm of Emge & Associates of San Diego, California, our attorneys can meet with you in a free initial consultation and immediately begin work investigating whether you have a consumer fraud or false advertising case. We know how to investigate and litigate false advertising practices, and have a proven ability to get results in class action lawsuits.

• Unfair Business Practices

Our attorneys will examine the facts of your situation to see whether or not you have an individual or class action claim. If our investigation uncovers unfair, illegal or fraudulent business practices, we may aggressively represent you and a class of similarly situated victims.

• Hidden Bank Charges

Consumer fraud can have a small effect on one person but multiplied by two million, the case will have large impact. The attorneys at Emge & Associates vigorously represent consumers. Our attorneys are experienced in handling complex class action litigation cases that have benefited millions of people.

• CLRA Consumer Claims

At Emge & Associates, we aggressively protect the rights of those victimized by product misrepresentation and other CLRA violations through class action proceedings. We are passionate about pursuing consumer claims, and we have had great success in securing compensation for our clients.

• Product Warranties

Our legal team at Emge & Associates is available to meet with you for a free consultation to discuss the specific of your claim. Initially, we will separate the oral statements that the sales representative made to you from the advertisement about the product warranty or mail-in-rebate.

• Real Estate Fraud

A real estate transaction is a complex legal matter that requires attention to detail and knowledge of real estate law. When brokers, lenders, and developers misrepresent themselves and commit real estate fraud, you need the type of representation our lawyers provide at Emge & Associates.

• Consumer Class Action Litigation

Since 2000, our San Diego breaches of contract attorneys have protected consumers' best interests in breach of contract and other consumer fraud cases. We have a strong track record of handling complex class action cases.

• Investment Fraud

We have an in-depth understanding of the laws protecting our clients, and we will vigorously represent them to recover compensation for their damages.
