“I want the Attorney General’s Office to be ‘the People’s Law Firm.’ You’re going to see us out in our community – meeting, teaching and helping the people we serve.” – TJ
The Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer in the state. Our office represents the state in all matters in which the state is a party or has an interest. We are dedicated to the protection of the health and safety of all Vermonters.
