Raymond Hay

From Defense to Plaintiff Advocacy

Raymond Hay began his legal career in 2016 as a workers’ compensation defense attorney, representing high-profile companies across California. That experience gave him a rare insider view into how the workers’ compensation system is litigated: from AOE/COE issues and Applicant depositions to cross-examining Qualified Medical Evaluators and lien litigation.

Joining Goldberg & Loren

In 2018, Raymond brought that perspective to the plaintiff side, joining Goldberg & Loren to represent injured workers throughout California. He implements an aggressive, stern strategy that has produced numerous high-value settlements for his clients.

Track Record

Since joining the firm, Raymond has secured over $10 million in settlement proceeds for injured workers. He is a strong believer in the practical importance of early treatment and pushes to get his clients medical care and attention as quickly as the system allows.

I spent my first two years representing the companies. I know what they look for, how they value claims, and which arguments they take seriously. That’s the leverage I bring to every settlement.

On Defense Background
