About Attorney General

The Office of the New York Attorney General serves as the People's Lawyer and the state's chief legal officer, heading the Department of Law. The office works to protect New Yorkers, combat crime, ensure public safety, defend civil rights, fight for workers, and safeguard the environment. It coordinates statewide civil and criminal investigations, promotes economic and social justice, and preserves the state's environment.

The Attorney General acts as the guardian of the legal rights of New York's people, organizations, and natural resources. As chief legal counsel, the office advises the executive branch and defends the state in legal proceedings. It enforces laws to protect consumers, tenants, patients, workers, investors, and charitable donors. The office employs over 1,700 staff, including more than 700 assistant attorneys general, across over two dozen locations statewide.

Under Attorney General Letitia James, who was elected in 2018 and took office in 2019, the office has focused on lowering costs for working families, holding bad actors accountable, and protecting New Yorkers' rights and safety. Her tenure has seen the recovery of over $9 billion from individuals and corporations, including significant settlements from opioid manufacturers and neglectful nursing homes. The office has also removed thousands of guns from New York's streets, challenged unlawful federal actions, and championed legislation to protect consumers and homeowners.

THANK YOU MATTHEW for his professionalism and kindness, He take care this matter without delay, Dealership finally agree to refund the deposit money without penalty.
