Standing Up for Georgia’s Small Businesses Against Deceptive Surcharges and Junk Fees
Small business owners across Georgia are being hit with unexpected and unjustified charges — often buried in invoices or added to services without a clear explanation. These include so-called:
If your business has been charged hidden or misleading fees, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to absorb the loss quietly.
At Lober & Dobson, we represent small businesses across Georgia in class action lawsuits aimed at holding large corporations and service providers accountable for unlawful billing practices. With years of experience in consumer protection, business litigation, and class actions, we fight to level the playing field for small businesses that have been taken advantage of.
Many vendors and service providers pass on undisclosed or poorly explained charges to their small business customers. These fees often appear after a contract is signed or service rendered, with no prior disclosure or meaningful opportunity to object.
Examples include:
While these fees may seem small individually, across thousands of businesses, they can amount to millions in unlawful charges.
A class action lawsuit allows many small businesses with similar experiences to join together and take legal action as a group. If a supplier, shipping company, utility, waste disposal service, or other vendor has charged you the same type of deceptive or undisclosed fee, you may qualify to participate.

If your small business has been charged unauthorized or unexpected fees, don’t assume there’s nothing you can do. One business speaking up may not get results — but hundreds together can make a difference.
We simplify complex legal matters by providing clear, concise, and accurate answers to your most pressing questions. Our goal is to ensure you have the knowledge..
We focus on high-stakes litigation, including Insurance Regulatory and Consumer Class Actions (auto claims, life insurance payment failures), Business Litigation (shareholder and contract disputes), and Catastrophic Personal Injury (wrongful death, severe injury claims).
We maintain a high level of transparent communication and dedicated support, ensuring class members and business clients are informed of all strategic and financial developments, from initial filing to final settlement distribution.
Resolution time varies greatly depending on the complexity and jurisdiction. However, our goal is always to achieve the maximum possible result as efficiently as possible, often securing substantial settlements without sacrificing speed.
While our record includes major jury verdicts (like the $\$14.9$ million injury case), we aggressively pursue settlements when they meet our client's goals. Our strong trial readiness is a key factor in negotiating the best possible settlement terms.
For most Personal Injury and Class Action matters, we work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you only pay a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you.
Please bring all relevant documents, such as insurance denial letters, accident reports, original contracts, or relevant corporate documentation, so we can immediately assess the merits and potential value of your case.
