Samantha L. Pryor
She sat on the Colorado Supreme Court's Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee for twelve years — a regulator's committee, appointed. Her firm's rideshare page is one of two here to tell readers that Colorado requires rideshare companies to carry uninsured-motorist cover on top of the $1 million.
The bar record
We read Samantha L. Pryor in the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel attorney search — an independent office of the Colorado Supreme Court, and the state’s actual regulator. Every row below is OARC’s.
We were not given this record. We went and got it. The entry supplied to us for this listing came from licensedlawyer.org, which is not the regulator — and which returns 403 Forbidden to us, so we could not load it to check anything on it. So we searched the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel ourselves and built this listing from what it holds. On three of our fourteen Denver listings the directory and the regulator name different employers; on one the directory publishes an entirely different person’s biography. Every Verified tag on this page is OARC’s. Nothing from the directory carries one.
Colorado is the only register that tells you where its own knowledge stops. Eleven other registers on this site answer the discipline question in some fashion — Texas prints a sentence, Washington refuses to, Pennsylvania does not ask. Colorado answers and then bounds the answer in the same breath: “…no public disciplinary history on file for this attorney within the state of Colorado.” Nine words that tell you exactly what the register does not know. It also publishes two fields nobody else does — whether the lawyer is in private practice, and whether they carry professional liability insurance — and two of our fourteen read NO to both. A register that asks a question can produce an answer you did not expect. Eleven others could not have produced it at all.
What the record shows
Her biography records appointment to the Colorado Supreme Court Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee from 2010, and separately gives a UPL Committee term of 2010 to 2022. That is service on a committee of the same court whose regulation office we used to check her. It is not a credential any register prints, and it is the closest thing to a regulator-conferred role in this batch.Verified
The firm’s page states that Colorado rules require rideshare companies to provide a mandatory $1 million liability limit plus coverage for uninsured drivers, and that contingency cover activates if a driver’s personal policy fails during a gap period. Naming the uninsured-motorist layer as a separate protection is something only two pages here do.Verified
It also puts the point most of these pages avoid: that you cannot hold a platform responsible just because a driver has a company decal on their windshield. That is the whole of the app-status question in one sentence.Verified
OARC records her in private practice and insured, at 1800 Glenarm Place. The directory entry we were handed records her firm size as Solo Practitioner, at a firm named for someone else.Verified
