The Office of the New York State Attorney General investigates patterns of discrimination, and enforces laws that protect all New Yorkers from unequal treatment on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, military status, sex, age, marital status, domestic violence victim status, disability, pregnancy-related condition, predisposing genetic characteristics, prior arrest or conviction record, familial status, and gender identity.

Filing a complaint does not start a lawsuit on your behalf. The Attorney General cannot give legal advice or represent individual complainants in court. For questions on your legal rights or responsibilities, please contact a private lawyer.

Use this form for new complaints only. To follow up on a complaint you previously filed, you can request a status update.
