This is such a honor for our agency, and winning the award is only possible because of all the hard-working public servants in my office who wake up every day ready to fight to protect Floridians.
The Florida Attorney General’s Office is dedicated to protecting consumers, defending state laws and recovering funds for Florida and victims of deceptive and unfair trade practices.
Since I took office in 2019:
- Our Antitrust Division recovered more than $3.4 billion on behalf of Florida citizens, taxpayers and state and local entities as a result of enforcement efforts;
- My legal team secured more than $3 billion for Florida through historic litigation—holding major opioid manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies accountable for their roles in the opioid crisis;
- Our Consumer Protection team recovered more than $469 million through work to shut down scams and protect consumers; and
- The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit obtained more than $160 million in settlements and judgments.
We will continue to work hard to achieve the best results with the state resources entrusted to our agency so we can build a Stronger, Safer Florida.

Attorney General Moody and Anti-Robocall Task Force File Enforcement Actions Against Two Alleged Illegal Robocallers
Attorney General Ashley Moody announced the national Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force is investigating two voice service providers over alleged involvement in illegal robocalls. The targets of the investigation are Michael Lansky LLC—doing business as Avid Telecom—and One Eye LLC. Attorney General Moody’s office is a member of the national task force that is enforcing civil investigative demands against the entities.
Both operations sent scam robocalls to consumers in Florida and other states, including robocalls from fraudsters posing as the Social Security Administration and Amazon. Avid also incorporated scam calls for unwanted auto warranties.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “We are teaming up with states across the nation to investigate companies that help facilitate illegal robocalls, and I will continue to work with attorneys general to identify, investigate and hold accountable those responsible for using these automated messages to rip off Floridians.” Read More
