File a Complaint
We welcome complaints and whistleblower tips. For consumer issues, we offer a voluntary mediation service if we believe our intervention might assist in resolving the dispute. Patterns of complaints involving the same party or a new issue often help us in allocating our law enforcement resources, regardless of whether we can intervene on any individual complaint.
If you are looking for information or to file a complaint specifically related to coronavirus, please visit our resource page. Complaints filed there will be confidential.
If you are looking to provide information relating to the investigation into sexual harassment allegations against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, please visit www.agindependentinvestigation.com
If you have questions regarding your individual legal rights or responsibilities, contact a private attorney.
Some issues are more appropriately directed outside our office. We help members of the public identify other government organizations better able to address their concerns.
If you cannot complete the form online or need additional assistance with where to direct your complaint, please call our OAG Help Line at (800) 771-7755.
Filing a false complaint is punishable as a Class A Misdemeanor.
We need complaints in writing. We prefer you use one of our complaint forms, but you may also describe your issues in correspondence mailed to our office.
To help resolve your issue, we may send a copy of your submission to the party you are complaining about, or to another government agency.
