Get clarity on your legal situation — fast.

Access to Justice shouldn't be a buzzword. Most people never consult an attorney because they don't know if they have a case, don't know what it will cost, and don't know where to start. The $95 Legal Triage solves all three.

In a focused 30-minute Legal Triage Session, you'll get an honest assessment of your situation, a clear explanation of your options, and a straight answer about whether — and how — legal help makes sense for you.

The $95 goes toward your legal fees if you retain. It's not a triage fee — it's the first step toward getting the outcome you deserve.

AI-Accelerated Efficiency

By integrating AI tools into every stage of the legal process, complex work is completed faster — passing real savings directly to you without sacrificing quality.

Transparent Pricing

No hidden fees, no inflated administrative overhead. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before any work begins.

Rooted in Colorado

Entire career built here — from prosecuting cases as a Deputy DA to litigating civil disputes in courtrooms across the state. Colorado courts, Colorado people.

Built on a
conviction

I founded Prompt Counsel PLLC on a simple conviction: Access to Justice shouldn't be a buzzword — it should be a baseline.

After years representing hundreds of clients and conducting thousands of consultations as a Senior Associate Attorney, a pattern became impossible to ignore. People don't just want good legal help — they want it faster, more transparently priced, and without the administrative overhead that traditionally inflates the bill. So I built a firm around that reality.

Prompt Counsel is Colorado's AI-forward law firm — not because AI is trendy, but because it works. By integrating AI tools into every stage of the legal process, I'm able to offer what most firms can't: high-level legal strategy delivered efficiently, without sacrificing the quality or personal attention every client deserves.

I also know that a great attorney is more than a skilled advocate. Clients come to me at some of the most stressful moments of their lives, and they need someone who will genuinely listen, be honest even when it's hard to hear, and fight for the best outcome possible — with both competence and compassion. That human element is never outsourced.

The old law is gone.
The new one takes effect
January 1, 2027.

Colorado's original AI law — SB24-205 — was repealed and replaced on May 14, 2026. Governor Polis signed SB26-189 into law after a 57-6 House vote and 34-1 Senate vote. The new law is narrower, but it's real, and it's coming.

SB26-189 shifts from sweeping governance mandates to a disclosure and consumer rights framework — focused on transparency, explanation, correction, and recordkeeping when AI materially influences consequential decisions about people. The June 30 deadline is gone. January 1, 2027 is the new date. AG rulemaking must be completed before enforcement begins — creating a window of ambiguity that businesses need to navigate carefully.

Prompt Counsel has been tracking this story since before most Colorado businesses knew it existed. If you use AI to hire, lend, price, or evaluate — you need to know where you stand under the new framework before the rules are finalized.

Who does SB26-189 affect?

The law applies to developers and deployers of "covered ADMT" — Automated Decision-Making Technology that materially influences a "consequential decision" about an individual in:

  • Employment — hiring, promotion, termination, compensation
  • Financial services and lending
  • Housing and real estate
  • Education enrollment and opportunities
  • Healthcare services
  • Insurance
  • Essential government services

What does SB26-189 require?

  • Consumer notice when ADMT materially influences a decision about them
  • Plain-language explanation within 30 days of an adverse outcome
  • Path for individuals to correct data and request human review
  • 3-year recordkeeping of ADMT compliance documentation
  • Developer technical documentation to deployers
  • Enforcement via Colorado Consumer Protection Act — AG rulemaking required before enforcement begins

What you need to know right now

Updated May 21, 2026
Law Signed
May 14, 2026
SB24-205 is dead. Governor Polis signs SB26-189 — the new Colorado AI law.
After two years of gridlock, lawsuits, and a special legislative session, Governor Polis signed SB26-189 into law on May 14, 2026 — repealing and replacing SB24-205 entirely. The bill passed 57-6 in the House and 34-1 in the Senate. The new law takes effect January 1, 2027. The June 30, 2026 deadline under the old law is gone.
New Framework
Effective January 1, 2027
What SB26-189 actually requires — a fundamentally different model
SB26-189 replaces the broad governance mandates of the old law with a narrower, disclosure-focused framework built around four obligations: (1) Tell individuals when ADMT is being used to materially influence a consequential decision about them. (2) Provide a plain-language explanation within 30 days of an adverse outcome. (3) Give individuals a path to correct data and request meaningful human review. (4) Retain compliance records for at least three years. The sweeping risk management programs, bias audits, and annual impact assessments required by SB24-205 are gone.
Watch This
Deadline: January 1, 2027
AG rulemaking must be completed before enforcement can begin
Colorado AG Phil Weiser is tasked with finalizing rules implementing SB26-189 by January 1, 2027. Enforcement cannot begin until rulemaking is complete. This creates a window of real regulatory ambiguity — the law is on the books, but the precise compliance standards are still being defined. Businesses should be preparing now, not waiting for final rules.
Litigation Pending
Ongoing
xAI lawsuit still active — legal uncertainty remains
The xAI lawsuit filed in April 2026 (Case 1:26-cv-01515) challenged SB24-205 on First Amendment, Commerce Clause, Equal Protection, and Due Process grounds. SB24-205 has now been repealed, but the litigation and its implications for SB26-189 remain an open question. The DOJ's intervention — the first-ever federal challenge to a state AI law — adds further complexity to the legal landscape.
Replaced
May 9, 2026
Colorado legislature passes SB26-189 with overwhelming bipartisan support
Sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez — the same legislator who championed SB24-205 in 2024 — SB26-189 moved with extraordinary speed after introduction on May 1. The Senate passed it May 7, the House May 9, 57-6. Rodriguez described the new law as "more of a notice bill" that preserves the core principle of disclosure while removing the governance mandates that generated two years of opposition.
DOJ Intervention
April 24, 2026
U.S. Department of Justice intervenes — first-ever federal challenge to a state AI law
The DOJ filed a Complaint in Intervention against SB24-205, arguing it violated the Equal Protection Clause by compelling AI developers to discriminate based on protected characteristics. The first time the federal government directly challenged a state AI law — a historic signal of federal interest in this space regardless of how the legislation evolves.
Lawsuit Filed
April 9, 2026
xAI sues to block SB24-205
Elon Musk's xAI filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado challenging SB24-205 on constitutional grounds. A federal judge issued a temporary enforcement delay shortly after. While SB24-205 has since been repealed, the litigation set the stage for the legislative resolution that followed.
Law Enacted
May 2024
Governor Polis signs SB24-205 — Colorado becomes first state with comprehensive AI law
Colorado enacted the nation's first comprehensive AI consumer protection law, establishing sweeping obligations for developers and deployers of high-risk AI systems. Polis signed it with reservations, setting in motion two years of industry opposition, legislative gridlock, and ultimately the replacement framework that became SB26-189.
