The Ohio Attorney General’s Office advocates for consumers and victims of crime, assists the criminal justice community, and provides legal representation for state offices and agencies. In those and other capacities, Attorney General Mike DeWine’s staff interacts each year with tens of thousands of Ohioans and nearly every facet of state government.
The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section helps protect Ohioans from unfair business practices and scams through dispute resolution, education, and legal action. It also produces the monthly Consumer Advocate newsletter and assists law enforcement and prosecutors in investigating and prosecuting consumer fraud of a criminal nature.
To assist service members, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office provides certain legal services at no cost to military personnel and their families. It also expedites cases and issues raised by active duty personnel and their family members and provides consumer workshops for service members and veterans.
