Here's a blast from the past of my days in Los Angeles.

Injury attorney Larry H. Parker of Los Angeles has passed away at age 75.

He was well-known in Los Angeles for his television advertisements and billboards for his personal injury law firm.

According to the L.A. Daily News:

Attorney Larry H. Parker, a decades-long Southern California legal fixture whose television ads and billboards made him almost a household name, has died at age 75, it was reported Friday.

TMZ reported Parker’s death, citing his law partner Ron Beck and Parker’s daughter-in-law. No details about the circumstances or timing of his death were immediately available.

The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker has been in operation for nearly 50 years, now boasting more than 125 attorneys, primarily handling accident and personal injury cases. The firm’s television ads, which are almost unavoidable for Southern California viewers, boast that its attorneys are “successful in 95% of our cases.”

I dealt with his law firm on a number of occasions over the years when I was a casualty claims adjuster. In actuality, the law firm was easy to deal with. His phone number in the ads was easy to remember with its "0000".

In New Mexico, the accident law firm with billboards and television ads similar to Parker's that immediately come to mind is Keller & Keller.
