Philip J. Weiser

Office of Attorney General

Phil Weiser, Esq., is serving his second term as Colorado’s attorney general and has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to serving the people of Colorado through engagement and collaborative problem solving.

High-profile investigations have resulted in more than $500 million returning to Colorado consumers.

Actively leading multistate investigations into Meta and TikTok for their impact on our children’s well-being, he also sued Juul Labs, securing $31.7 million for vaping cessation, prevention, and youth mental health programs. Before his time as attorney general, Weiser was the dean of the University of Colorado Law School. He also served as a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and held senior positions in the U.S. Department of Justice in the Clinton and Obama administrations.
