No. The Attorney General cannot represent private individuals. You will have to hire a private attorney to represent you. One way to find an attorney is to contact your county’s bar association lawyer referral service. Or, you may want to contact a branch of the Tobacco Control Resource Center (TCRC), the Tobacco Products Liability Project (TPLP), this group provides tobacco information and refers potential plaintiffs to attorneys. You can call them at (617) 373-2026 or click on the TCRC [PDF 40 kb / 7 pg] link in the Resources section.
