That will not help a bit.  (Don't mean to sound blunt).  The Attorney
General enforces the laws at the request of a state agency or state
officer, or defends the officers, or agency, etc. when requested by their
client.    Who is the client?  Not the consumer.  Its the state agency, the
governor, agency heads, officers, etc.  The AG does not have authority to
just jump in there and start filing suits and charging people with crimes.
Not going to happen as a general rule.
Don't waste time filing complaints directly with that office of any
state.  It's not proper chain of command, and it makes the lawyer for the
state in effect his/her own client.  That's a little too cozy for job
security wouldn't one say??   If there is a law, then there is an
enforcement mechanism. Sometimes it lies in the hands of the consumers
directly.  They can sue.
