About the Western Massachusetts Division

Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, and Berkshire.

The Western Massachusetts Division has defensive and affirmative litigation responsibilities and, additionally, handles a large number of consumer-related complaints for area residents. The Western Massachusetts Division also takes part in a variety of community-oriented public safety, consumer, child and elder protection, and violence prevention programs.

Additionally, in 1998 the Attorney Generals Municipal Law Unit (MLU) was moved to Western Massachusetts. The MLU's primary responsibility is to perform the Attorney General's statutory review of municipal by-laws and charter amendments to ensure that these laws are consistent with the constitution and laws of the Commonwealth
