A charge from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP on your card statement typically appears when you pay a delinquent balance that has been referred to collections by a government agency—such as overdue property taxes, unpaid tolls, parking tickets, or court fees. Payments may be made online, by phone, or through a payment plan, and the card charge can show both the government client name (e.g., San Mateo County) and LGBS as the collecting law firm. Sometimes a partial or test authorization may appear as a pending charge before the final amount posts.
If you have questions about this charge, first locate any notices, letters, or emails you’ve received from Linebarger or from the underlying government agency (such as San Mateo County) that reference your account number, case number, or citation number. You can then contact Linebarger directly via the contact details on their official website or on your notice to verify the amount and what it relates to. For disputes or receipt copies, use their online payment portal or call the listed phone number; if you believe the underlying fine or tax is incorrect, you may need to also contact the originating agency (e.g., the county tax office or court) to challenge or clarify the debt.
