In filing this complaint, I understand that:
The Attorney General is not my private lawyer. The Attorney General is a public servant who protects the public from illegal or misleading practices. This complaint does not mean that the Attorney General will start a lawsuit for me.
The Attorney General cannot give me legal advice or represent me in court. If I have any questions about my legal rights or responsibilities, I should contact a private lawyer.
The Attorney General may send a copy of my complaint, and any documents I provide, to the person or organization I mention in my complaint. I give that person or organization permission to provide information about my complaint to the Attorney General.
The Attorney General works with other government agencies at the state, local, and federal levels to investigate complaints and work with the police. The Attorney General may share my complaint with these agencies.
I affirm this 17th day of December, 2025, under the penalties of perjury under the laws of New York, which may include a fine or imprisonment, that:
  • the foregoing is true, except as to matters alleged on information and belief and as those matters I believe it to be true, and
  • I understand that this document may be filed in an action or proceeding in a court of law.
