ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Larry Booth. Larry Booth graduated first in his class from the University

of Southern California Law Center in 1959, where he was Editor in Chief of the

Law Review. After graduation, he worked in the field of Entertainment Law and

later spent two years as a prosecuting attorney trying over 200 criminal cases. He

then operated his own firm primarily as a criminal defense attorney before going

to work for Silver & McWilliams (later Silver, McWilliams & Booth) in the Los

Angeles harbor. He remained at the firm for 20 years as the lead trial attorney

achieving multiple multi-million dollar results in construction and products liabil-

ity cases.

In 1984, Mr. Booth opened his own firm in Torrance, California, now known as

Booth & Koskoff. Booth & Koskoff continued to concentrate on high profile personal

injury and death cases in a wide variety of areas including auto defects, construction

accidents, products liability, drugs, malpractice, and governmental liability. To date

they have produced over 80 verdicts and settlements in excess of one million dollars.

In 1974, Mr. Booth was elected to the Inner Circle of Advocates, which is a national organization limited to

the top 100 trial lawyers in the United States. In 1978, he was the President of the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers

Association. He has written hundreds of articles in various legal publications that uniquely provide attorneys

with practical guides on the secrets to success in the personal injury field.

Roger Booth. In a legal career that began in 1991, Roger Booth has handled

many large, complex cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants, and both

individuals and corporations, throughout California and the United States. Since

1997, he has focused on representing people who have suffered catastrophic inju-

ries or the death of a loved one.

Mr. Booth graduated cum laude from Pomona College in 1987 with a B.A. in

English literature. He graduated from Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of

California, Berkeley in 1991. From 1991-97, Mr. Booth was an associate at Pills-

bury, Madison & Sutro (then the largest law firm in California), where he handled

a variety of large, complex business litigation and insurance bad faith matters.

In 1997, Mr. Booth joined his father, Larry Booth, at Booth & Koskoff and

quickly made his mark as a plaintiff’s attorney. In 1998, in just his second personal

injury trial, he obtained a $1.6 million verdict in Orange County, setting a record for a hand injury case in that juris-

diction. Since then, Mr. Booth has handled more than 20 cases that have resulted in verdicts or settlement in excess

of $1,000,000, including a $4,000,000 verdict in a wrongful death case in 2012. Every year since 2009, he has been

named a “Super Lawyer,” an honor limited to the top 5 percent of attorneys in Southern California.

Mr. Booth is an active member of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (“CAALA”), fre-

quently writing articles and giving speeches at CAALA events on subjects related to personal injury practice and

trial tactics. He has also written numerous articles for other legal publications.
