Biography

Jonathan H. Colman has been practicing law in California since 1980 and is the principal and managing attorney of Colman Perkins Law Group. He is rated AV Preeminent® by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest peer rating for lawyers in the United States. In addition to an active civil litigation practice, Jon began specializing in the investigation and litigation of suspect claims in 1986, a concentration on which he has continued to focus. His practice has included the defense and investigation of a wide variety of suspect insurance claims including MIST (minimum impact soft tissue automobile losses), premises liability (slip and fall, food-foreign objects), first and third party automobile claims (including uninsured motorist and staged accidents) and automobile theft and arson (examinations under oath). Jon has represented numerous insurance carriers in first party claims (commercial, homeowners, rental, watercraft, jewelry) including property, arson, business interruption and suspicious mold claims. A recognized expert in the field of SIU claims and procedures, Jon has testified as an expert witness on SIU procedures and before the California State Assembly on the scope and purpose of the examination under oath. He lectures extensively throughout the United States on matters relating to the evaluation and investigation of suspect claims including examinations under oath, automobile theft, arson, suspect medical and chiropractic treatment and the avoidance of “bad faith” in the investigation of first party claims. Previously a Judge Pro Tem, arbitrator, mediator and special referee, Jon is presently a member of IASIU, NCFIA (Northern California Fraud Investigators) and SCFIA (Southern California Fraud Investigators).
