The Georgia Department of Law, also known as the Attorney General's Office, is a constitutional office created by the Georgia Constitution. It serves as the primary legal representative for the State of Georgia, providing legal counsel to state government agencies, officers, and employees. The Department's mission is to deliver high-quality legal representation and honorably carry out the constitutional and statutory responsibilities of the Attorney General.
The office's duties encompass a broad range of legal functions. These include providing binding legal opinions on questions concerning the State or its agencies, representing Georgia in all capital felony appeals before the Supreme Court of Georgia, and handling all civil cases in any court, including the Supreme Court of the United States. The Department also prosecutes public corruption cases, initiates civil or criminal actions on behalf of the State upon the Governor's request, and prepares and reviews state contracts and agreements.
Key issues of focus for the Attorney General's Office include human trafficking, gang activity, organized retail crime, cybercrime, elder abuse, and opioid abuse.

Called for help with a warranty claim. Was told to contact Tennessee department of law where warrant company is located. Replied that I live in Georgia? Huh? Then was told to hire an attorney. Yeah thanks. In a word "Useless".
