Complaints & Constituent Frequently Asked Questions


Complaints

The Constituent Services Unit fields complaints to ensure each one is reviewed by the appropriate division with the Attorney General’s Office. While the Nevada Office of the Attorney General represents the interests of Nevada residents on a wide range of issues, our office has limited jurisdiction over certain matters. Our primary areas of governance include but are not limited to – consumer fraud, financial fraud, missing and exploited children, human trafficking, insurance fraud, Medicaid fraud, worker’s comp fraud, mortgage fraud, cybercrimes, tobacco enforcement, opioid/healthcare fraud, and open meeting law violations.

Please note: The Nevada Attorney General’s Office cannot provide you with legal advice or represent you in personal legal actions. If you cannot afford a private attorney, you may consider contacting your local legal aid office. If you are seeking answers to legal questions or need someone to assist you in court, you will need to find a private attorney.

If you would like to share a concern, opinion or make an inquiry about a specific issue with the Nevada Attorney General’s Office, email us at aginquiries@ag.nv.gov.

 

    Complaint Process:

    1. Your complaint will be reviewed and processed within 14 to 45 business days. When receiving a high volume of complaints, the review process may take longer than 45 business days.

    2. A staff member will contact you if additional information is needed to thoroughly review your complaint.

    3. If it is determined another agency is more appropriate to address your complaint, we will forward it to that agency and provide you with contact information to follow-up with them directly.
