Attorney Information
Overview
For a decade and a half, Colin M. Jones, Esq. has built a track record of world-class results – verifiable, year after year, in the courtroom and at the settlement table. As Wilshire Law Firm’s first Partner, Colin combines relentless preparation with an authentic desire to connect with people, a combination that has endeared him to clients, judges, and juries alike.
An accomplished trial attorney, Colin masterfully presents the stories of his clients, delivering their truths with creativity and zeal that wins. His record includes seven-figure verdicts in three different states (California, Illinois, Wisconsin) and well over 100 days spent in trial. His results aren’t just impressive – they’re independently verified: according to TopVerdict.com, Colin holds the 4th highest personal injury settlement in California for 2025, the 9th highest motor vehicle accident settlement in California for 2024, and the 12th highest motorcycle accident verdict in the United States for 2019. He has landed on TopVerdict.com’s top settlement rankings every year since 2020. His placements on the annual “Top 100” lists include:
- 20 of the top 100 personal injury settlements in California in 2020
- 13 of the top 100 personal injury settlements in California in 2021
- 24 of the top 100 personal injury settlements in California in 2022
- 11 of the top 100 personal injury settlements in California in 2023
- 11 of the top 100 personal injury settlements in California in 2024
- #1 highest settlement in “multi-vehicle collision” in California in 2024
- 25 of the Top 100 Motor Vehicle Settlements in California for 2025
- #2 Motor Vehicle Settlement in California for 2025 ($36,000,000)
- #9 Motor Vehicle Settlement in California for 2025 ($12,000,000)
Across his career, Colin’s deep-seated commitment to his clients has helped them recover more than $440 million, including 120 seven-figure resolutions ($1M+) and 7 eight-figure resolutions ($10M+).
Colin’s standing among his legal peers reflects that same record: he is an admitted member of the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an invitation-only honor for trial lawyers who meet rigorous standards of experience and ethics. He has been honored as a “Super Lawyer” every year since 2022 and a “Best Lawyer” every year since 2025. He is also a member of both The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Lawyers and The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40, and served as the 2020 President of the latter.
Colin is a frequent speaker at continuing legal education events for other attorneys, covering topics from closing arguments to voir dire, and has presented on trial advocacy and litigation at Loyola University Chicago School of Law and DePaul University College of Law. His written legal guide, “How to Win Over a Jury to Win at Trial,” was published by the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education in 2013.
When asked what he attributes his personal and professional success to, Colin points to his desire to help other people. He serves as an Honorary Board Member with the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities (LATLC), which is committed to making a positive difference in the greater Los Angeles area. With a decade and a half of experience litigating complex cases and changing the lives of others, Colin’s verified results, sustained trial time, and peer recognition set him apart.
