The AGO works to ensure that companies comply with the law and adequately disclose all fees and charges to Washington consumers. Companies caught charging hidden fees by the Attorney General have paid over $9.6 million dollars in consumer restitution and penalties.

In recent years, hidden fees have proliferated in multiple industries, from online shopping to event tickets, to restaurants, to lodging, to delivery services, among many others. Undisclosed fees may violate the Washington State Consumer Protection Act.

3/3: Even after just 11 months here, it is hard to imagine the office without Colleen’s expertise, savvy, toughness, and caring.

But our loss is Washington state’s gain. There’s no place in Washington where Colleen could be more influential than on our highest court.

2/3: Colleen is simply a brilliant attorney. As the founding division director of the Wing Luke Civil Rights Division and an inspirational leader to many at the AGO, it’s difficult to do justice to Colleen’s legacy and impact on the office.

Behind every statistic is a loved one whose potential was unjustly stolen. Let this day be both a solemn time of mourning and a fierce call to action to challenge transphobia and fight for a world where every single person may live openly and safely in their truth.
