The Department of Law serves the citizens of Georgia by offering high-quality legal representation to state agencies, officers, and employees.

The office's duties include providing legal opinions binding on state agencies, representing Georgia in capital felony appeals before the Supreme Court of Georgia, and handling civil cases in various courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States. It also prosecutes public corruption cases and initiates civil or criminal actions when requested by the Governor. Additionally, the office prepares and reviews contracts and agreements on behalf of the State of Georgia.

    This is more than they deserve!! They deserve no star. And ur right they suck. My mother's death certificate is not been released and I've been in circle for 3 weeks and no one can find it because it's not been released except SS. So I'm left with no more options. Called these idiots and we can't help and told me to call vital statistics. Been there done that. That's right back again where I started. So screw y'all!!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 mine is for attorney general. Called Congress man David Scott's office and got info I needed. Why couldn't they at least lead me there? Js

    This office does not answer the phone. I have been trying to get through for days. Chris Carr is willfully denying the voters a voice.

    I submitted open government complaints through their mediation program. I was contacted by asst. AG. After the initial email I called her since I had more than one complaint with several state and county agencies. I was denied records after my brothers death when I questioned prehospital care. She knew all the details of what my complaints were and how the agencies handed them. She instructed me to send her documentation...which I did...it took all day and 12 emails. I received a response from her regarding the county agencies...since I did get the records nothing could be done. Regarding the state agency...well apparently AG represents them. I tried to address a real problem where Georgia did not protect the general public...they protect government agencies and officials. Governor Deal is a big part of this problem as AG doesn't go after state government without his order.

    August 19, 2025 If I could leave less than a 1 star review, I would! How can an office as important as the AG's office for the state of Georgia not be competent enough to answer its phones. I called 16 times in 1 day and not once would someone answer the phone. This is unacceptable, unprofessional, and the staff at the AG's office should be embarrassed at their lack of responsiveness and incompetence. The AG's office is UNPROFESSIONAL, INCOMPETENT, AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!

    My rights were violated in Newton County by Judge W. Kendall Wynne Jr. and no one including the GA Judicial Qualifications Commission and the DOJ did absolutely nothing because he is a judge and I am currently waiting for the Attorney Generals office to hear what they have to say. Citizens rights are being taken a way everyday and they only care about other people who are not citizens.

    I contacted the Attorney Generals Office to register a complaint of Fraud. I did so on line. They told me it would be a fee of $5.00 for filing, so I used a credit card. But before I could be connected to an attorney they wanted me to agree to an automatic withdrawal of $60.00 a month until I cancelled. This is another form of extortion especially since the Attorney General is paid by tax payers. Do not consumers have any protection by our government without them trying to extort funds from taxpayers?
