A former criminal prosecutor and civil rights attorney, Dana Nessel was sworn in as Michigan’s 54th Attorney General on January 1, 2019.
Her core initiatives are based on her promise to Michigan’s residents — to give the Department of Attorney General back to the people that it serves.
Since the Trump Administration took office in January 2025, AG Dana Nessel has taken action to protect the rights, services, and federal funding that Michigan residents depend on. To help you stay informed, the Department created the Federal Actions Tracker.
The tracker provides up-to-date information on the Attorney General's legal actions in response to several unlawful federal policies and orders. The tracker is a helpful resource designed to keep residents informed on significant federal actions and how they impact Michigan residents.
A past mistake shouldn’t define your future. Michigan’s 2019 Clean Slate law, drafted by AG Nessel, has given over a million Michiganders a fresh start by expunging prior convictions from their record.

The Consumer Protection Team helps protect Michigan residents from bad actors who have one primary goal: to trick us out of our hard-earned money. As technology advances, they get more creative with their approach. They prey on anyone vulnerable - especially seniors.
Consumer Protection handles 10,000 consumer complaints each year, provides numerous educational resources online, and issues consumer alerts on scams, data breaches and any other consumer-related issue our residents should be aware of.
