If it's an actual criminal complaint (which not a given; the attorney general deals with non-criminal matters, too), then you need a criminal defense attorney and you should *not* speak to anyone, nor give any written statements or answer written questions, about the matter unless and until you speak with your attorney. (Remember: you have a Constitutional right to not self-incriminate, often called the "right to silence.")
If it's not a criminal complaint, but rather has to do with your eligibility for some license or certification, you may be better served by an attorney with what's called "administrative law" experience--i.e. a lawyer who's used to dealing with licenses, administrative agencies, etc.
Good luck.
