This is my second accident and I must say this is the best experience I've had by far.

Thank you Colin from Wilshire Law Frim for taking care of me. I call for a free consultation and was assured that they win most of their cases without me even having to go to court! As he said He has recovered over $35 million for his client's, getting favorable verdicts in three different states. ...Sounds great if you ask my option ! If you're coming to Wilshire Law I highly recommend you ask for Colin. P.s. This is my second accident and I must say this is the best experience I've had by far.

Great attorney, better person.

Colin is one of those few attorney's that have a genuine interest in his clients well being. After I was struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian, Colin was the one who negotiated the max possible settlement. He's a very approachable down to earth person you can talk to but whom is also excellent at negot...iating. He's completely honest & upfront which is probably a reflection of his good relationships in the industry (very valuable). You'd be lucky to have him on your side.

Outstanding Attorney

Attorney Colin Jones handled a medical malpractice case for our young daughter while he practiced law in Chicago. Mr Jones did an excellent job at handling depositions, and keeping us informed at all times. We would highly recommend Mr. Jones, and could not be happier with the time, effort and work... he put into our daughters case.

Great Personal Injury Lawyer

After my grandson was mauled by a dog we really didn't know what we needed to do. Colin's firm was recommended to me. As I was soon to find out, personal injury cases can go on for a very long time. They can be intense and nerve racking. Thus, we began our two year journey with Colin Jones. I fel...t that Colin really took a personal interest in our case. He was readily available to answer all of the questions that we had. I felt that he was knowledgeable in all of the areas that pertained to our case. But most of all, I felt that he guided us through the process and kept us grounded. He gave us good advice and helped us to make educated decisions. In the end, we came out with a phenomenal settlement! Thank you Colin.

When I had no idea where to turn Colin Jones was there.

I would like Colin Jones to be recognized for his hard work and the dedication he gave my case as well as my personal issues. Colin was there to help me when no one else was, not even my family. He took my case right away and made me feel I could trust he was going to do whatever he could to get my l...ife back to "normal". Before meeting with Colin I was receiving bills I couldn't pay for, I needed medicine I couldn't pay for, i needed treatment I couldn't pay for and I was behind on everything else. I am a young individual, with no health insurance, no assets and before i could blink my eyes I was $100,000 in debt all from being the passenger of an automobile collision. I was scared, confused and in way over my head with no idea of how this would affect the rest of my life. I had spoke with 3-4 different Lawyers and none of them showed the interest, passion and drive Colin had even from our initial phone conversation. Mr. Jones came to meet with me at my home 2-3 days after initial contact because i was in no position to leave at the time. I knew from that first meeting I had someone in my corner who was going to fight for me HOWEVER he could. I felt especially good about my decision after reading their firms information, knowing they specialize in major cases, even though mine wasn't as big, Colin made me feel important, protected and cared for even though there wouldn't be a big pay out at the end. Through out the last 4 months Colin has had and maintained great communication with the insurance companies, hospitals, out-patient clinics as well as with Myself. I gave him my complete trust and he proved to me over and over that he was very deserving of it. Colin Jones is very professional, intelligent, driven, compassionate and open. Every time we talked it seemed a little less weight was on my shoulders. I don't know what I would have done with out Mr. Jones and the firm he represents. I'm blessed to have him on my case, because of his hard work I am beginning to see where life is headed and today I am not scared of it. Just writing this review brings tears to my eyes, I feel as if I was sent an Angel when I needed one the most. Colin Jones made my life less chaotic, less stressful and more promising than anyone else would have had me think after a major accident like this. He wasn't just a lawyer working for a major firm, he wasn't just a stranger helping me make major decisions that would affect the rest of my life, he was a friend and just like a counselor the way he always had my back and listened to my problems as if they were his own. I would like to state again I don't know what I would have done without Colin Jones. I am so very thankful for him and to him. I would recommend him to anyone who asked about a lawyer who specializes and/or deals with they types of cases he does. Thank you Avvo for having this type of platform for me to express my experience and gratitude.
