Active military personnel, their families, and veterans are unfortunately often targeted by scam artists and unscrupulous businesses who try to take advantage of the military consumers. Servicemembers are targeted for many reasons including their stable income, inexperience in financial matters, and the desire to solve their own problems, some out of fear that the problems may jeopardize their security clearance and careers.  

Attorneys general work to protect and assist our nation’s veterans by: 

• Pursuing those who exploit veterans, servicemembers, and their families. 
• Assisting veterans in areas of re-employment and other legal issues related to deployments and general military service. 
• Working to ensure that veteran health benefits are protected.   

In each of these areas, the state and territory attorneys general advocate to ensure that current military members and veterans, as well as their families, receive the respect and benefits which they have earned through their service to our country.
