Professional Experience

Attorney: Larry Lawton, Attorney at Law; 2012 - Current; Practice generally limited to existing clients

Associate Area Legal Counsel: Asia Area Office, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; 2011 - 2012; General civil practice, working with local counsel in twenty-plus countries where the church has a presence in Asia. Agreements for humanitarian projects may be the most rewarding work.

Superfund Attorney-Advisor: Air Force Regional Counsel, Western Region; 1990 - 2005; Supervised environmental litigation for the Western Region, from Arizona to Alaska and Idaho to Guam.

Litigation Attorney: Civil Practice; 1973 - 1990; Civil Litigation (with some general practice), eventually with emphasis on the defense of architects, engineers and attorneys sued for malpractice.

Los Angeles County, California: Deputy District Attorney; 1971 - 1973; Final assignement was Deputy in charge of jury trials for the Glendale office. After I won my 50th jury trial, it seemed pointless to continue counting.
