The Washington, DC Office of the Attorney General (OAG) enforces the District's consumer protection and antitrust laws. It brings court actions to stop deceptive, anticompetitive, or unconscionable business practices and to obtain compensation for consumers. Although OAG does not represent individual consumers, it helps consumers and merchants to resolve their disputes. In addition, it uses consumer complaint information to determine whether there is a pattern or practice by a business that warrants investigation or possible legal action by OAG.

The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs and the Office of the Attorney General have partnered to create a one-stop shop for consumers seeking information on consumer protection. The site includes hundreds of pages of information on how you can protect yourself against fraud and how to seek the government's assistance if you have been a victim. We have live videos, a Facebook page, live Twitter feeds and a media room so you can get the latest news. Visit consumer.dc.gov today!
