When a legal problem lands on you, whether it’s a lawsuit, a workplace dispute, a criminal charge, or a fight with a landlord, you need clear answers quickly. You shouldn’t have to wait weeks or face a bill you can’t predict. I founded Prompt Counsel PLLC to give people both.

Courtroom experience on both sides. I’ve tried more than 50 cases to verdict and negotiated hundreds of settlements in Colorado civil litigation. As a Deputy District Attorney in Colorado’s 12th Judicial District, I prosecuted cases ranging from traffic offenses and DUIs to serious felonies, and I won about a dozen felony preliminary hearings. I know how prosecutors build cases, and that insight helps the people I now defend. Before founding Prompt Counsel, I was a Senior Associate Attorney at Robinson & Henry, P.C. Earlier, I spent about six years as a legal analyst at LexisNexis reviewing U.S. Supreme Court opinions for Shepard’s, where precision wasn’t optional.

What I handle:

Civil litigation: contract, real estate, HOA, property, and money-damages disputes in Colorado state courts
Employment: wrongful termination, retaliation, discrimination, and separation agreement review
Criminal defense: DUI and traffic matters, misdemeanors, and more serious charges
Landlord-tenant: habitability, security deposits, evictions, and lease disputes, for both tenants and landlords
AI compliance guidance for businesses navigating Colorado’s AI laws

How I work. AI is built into every stage of my practice, and speed is only part of the benefit. It lets me review every page of a lease, contract, or police report, search the case law more widely, and check arguments from more angles than a traditional billable-hour budget allows. That makes the finished work more thorough. AI also helps me turn complex legal analysis into advice that is concise and complete. You’ll know where you stand, what your options are, and what each one is likely to cost, without wading through legalese. AI never replaces judgment, though. Every letter, filing, and piece of advice is reviewed, verified, and owned by me personally. You get a Colorado attorney, not a chatbot, along with transparent pricing and fast responses.
