Southern California Employment Law and Consumer Fraud Lawyers
At Emge & Associates in San Diego, California, our lawyers devote their entire practice to fighting for the rights and interests of consumers and employees. We represent employees in disputes against employers and consumers in litigation against businesses. Our attorneys help people with the following types of employment law controversies:
- Wage and Hour Disputes for San Diego and Los Angeles clients in which an employer fails to pay wages they owe by requiring off-the-clock work duties or manipulating time cards.
- Employee Misclassification, in which an employer avoids paying overtime by illegally misclassifying employees as exempt.
- Unpaid Overtime for clients in San Diego and Los Angeles in which an employer establishes a pattern of requiring overtime without pay.
- Meal and Rest Breaks on behalf of clients in which employers in Los Angeles and San Diego fail to provide 30-minute, uninterrupted meal breaks and 10-minute rest periods required by California labor laws.
- False Advertising Claims and Unfair Business Practices: Many laws protect consumers from unscrupulous business practices, such as hidden fees and bait and switch tactics. We have successfully used the UCL, CLRA, and other Business & Professions Codes to effect the return of millions of dollars to consumers.
- Whistleblowers California Bounty Hunter Law (Private Attorney General Act of 2004): The California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) can deputize employees to sue non-complying employers for civil penalties. One fourth of all collected penalties go to the employee(s) who seek to right the wrongs of their employers.
- Employee Class Action Lawsuits and Consumer Class Action Litigation: Sometimes a company will mistreat many people in the same way, but each individual does not incur significant enough damages to make an individual lawsuit worthwhile. Class action lawsuits are an effective way to bring the power of many people together to more effectively fight a company's wrongdoings.
For examples of the above cases, see our Representative Cases page and Breaking News page. Also dealing with matters of wrongful termination in San Diego and throughout Southern California, our employment law attorneys can speak free of charge with anyone who believes they may have been mistreated by a business.
