Protecting the Public

The laws that protect Wisconsin consumers, vulnerable persons, and the State’s natural resources are enforced by the Attorney General, attorneys, and staff at the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ).


​​​​​​​​Legal Advice or Representation

Wisconsin law does not authorize the Attorney General and employees of the Depa​rtment 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.
