Attorney General of the State of Florida

What Attorney General of the State of Florida does

The Attorney General of the State of Florida is the chief legal officer of Florida, a statewide elected constitutional office established in 1845 when Florida became a state and currently held by James Uthmeier, who succeeded Ashley Moody in 2025. The office operates from a Tallahassee headquarters (Collins Building, 107 West Gaines Street) and maintains ten regional offices across major Florida metropolitan areas — Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Pensacola, Daytona Beach, and St. Petersburg — providing in-person service delivery across all major population centers of the state.

The office delivers a broad portfolio of government legal, enforcement, and consumer-protection services organized into core departments and specialized programs. Core service lines include Consumer Protection (with the statewide No Fraud Hotline at 1-866-9-NO-SCAM), the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, Antitrust enforcement, Civil Litigation defense, Criminal Appeals, the Office of Statewide Prosecution (targeting identity theft, drug trafficking, and gang activity), Civil Rights enforcement, Victim Services and compensation, Lemon Law administration, Identity Theft recovery, Human Trafficking Prevention, and issuance of formal AG Opinions. Specialized programs include the Florida Digital Bill of Rights enforcement regime, the Nicotine Dispensing Device Directory (under section 569.311, Florida Statutes), Back the Blue, Seniors vs. Crime, the Military and Veterans Assistance Program, the Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute, a Cold Case Investigations Unit, and the Be a Florida Hero initiative. Service delivery channels include toll-free hotlines, an online complaint and information portal at myfloridalegal.com, regional field offices, and community events such as the Crime Prevention Summit and Human Trafficking Summit.

The office is a government state entity funded through state appropriations rather than commercial revenue, and does not generate revenue in a private-sector sense. Its economic scale is best characterized through enforcement and litigation outcomes — most notably a portfolio of opioid-related settlements totaling approximately $26 billion (including up to $21 billion over 18 years with distributors McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen, and up to $5 billion over 9 years with Janssen) — rather than through a revenue line item. The served population is all Florida residents and Florida state agencies. Authority is constitutionally mandated, statewide, and exclusive; the office has no parent holding company, no subsidiaries, no private ownership, and no capital structure.

• U.S. Department of Justice: DOJ is a broad incumbent — the federal-level legal enforcement body that frequently partners with state AGs on multistate actions and sets national enforcement priorities, but operates at a far broader scope than any single state AG.
