Attorneys at the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) work with partners in the criminal justice community to create safer communities. Attorneys at DOJ work closely with the State’s local prosecutors, providing training, support, and legal advice.
Attorneys at DOJ also handle a wide variety of matters on behalf of the State, its agencies, the University of Wisconsin System, and individual state employees.
Wisconsin law does not authorize the Attorney General and employees of the Department of Justice to provide legal advice to private individuals. If you need legal advice or representation you may want to contact a private attorney. The State Bar of Wisconsin Lawyer Referral and Information Service can help you determine if you need a lawyer, and how to proceed if you do.
