Minnesota Law Mourns the Passing of Dale Larson '65, a Founding Partner of Larson • King

Dale I. Larson '65, a founding partner of the Twin Cities law firm of Larson • King, died on May 10 at the age of 84.

After graduating Moorhead High School in 1955, Larson served three years as a paratrooper in the 11th Airborne Division. When he returned, he tried his hand in broadcasting as a TV reporter for KXJB-TV in Fargo and for WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. He earned a B.A. from Moorhead State before enrolling in Minnesota Law.

After graduating from the Law School in 1965, Larson started his legal career at the law firm of Robins, Davis & Lyons when it had about 30 lawyers in its Minneapolis and St. Paul offices. The law firm was renamed Robins, Zelle, Larson & Kaplan in 1980, after Larson was invited to join the firm’s executive committee. During the time Larson served on the firm’s executive committee, the law firm grew to more than 150 lawyers, expanding its offices and practice nationally. 

Larson left Robins in 1988 to form the Zelle & Larson law firm, where he continued to represent clients involved in large and complex bodily injury, property damage, and business injury matters. In 1999, Larson • King law firm was formed. Larson was of counsel to the firm until his retirement.
