Raymond Lee Asher

Prior to my first interview with Ray in 2017, I had met with two others firms who, in comparison to Ray, appeared to send their youngest, inexperienced lawyers to review my case. While speaking with Ray I immediately took notice of his knowledge of WC claims and genuine interest and concern for my i...njuries (compared to two prior contacts) and I asked him to represent me that day. The first things I noticed in corresponding is how Ray referred to “My Employer” as “Our Opponent”, and as the case progressed, that’s exactly what my employers legal team became. For almost five years our opponent dragged out this case during which Ray reviewed, scrutinized and corrected numerous case documents and emails moving the final outcome of the case in my favor. He was consistently responsive to my phone calls and emails making me grateful for his representation. In July 2021, my case was ready to settle and all dollar amounts were established, signing the final documents was all that remained. During Rays review he noticed new language in those documents that would not protect my interest in the future and the settlement was put on hold. For five more months Ray worked for that language change and in the process had my MSA funds increased by over ten thousand dollars which was an unexpected surprise – Ray doesn’t earn a dime from MSA funds. It was a comfort knowing Ray was always working to ensure the best outcome for me. Not himself, but me, which is a fine quality in someone you count on to competently handle your WC case. If you’re considering an attorney to represent you with a work-related injury, I honestly believe you owe it to yourself to speak with Ray, WC is all he does and he does it very well.

I perform a google search in an effort to get information on how to deal with workman comp insurance companies. My initial plan was to ask any lawyer for tips on what I can do to advocate for myself. I did not realize the google search would turn my phone into a call center. The first and only call I... answered was Mr. Asher. I said to him “I am trying to find out how to advocate for myself with my employer ‘s workman’s compensation representative”. Mr Asher said, “ Eldarada, you have just succeeded this by answering my call”. From that point on I did not have to worry about any issues or rejections to medical care. Mr. Asher, not only guided me through the process, he reassured me he had my best interest and he proved this over the last 3 plus years. Regardless if I called, text or emailed, him or his representative, was always available. This was important since I am a Registered Nurse and I am not accustomed to asking for assistance. When it came to settling my case, he did so with the professianlism and guidance. I remember him saying, “I am not a billboard or commercial attorney, my reputation is based on my hard work and integrity. If you are looking for client-centered attorney who will represent you as a whole person then Mr Asher is the attorney for you.

Ray Asher represented me when he was young attorney in the field of workers compensation. He was a professional and an expert at his craft. I've witnessed first hand that his clients are more than numbers - it is personal to him. This is evident by the amount of relationships he has been able to ma...intain over the years. I've also admired how he engages his industry at a very high level. The depth of experience, coupled with his long term relational intelligence make Ray Asher not just a great lawyer, but a great human being.

My first conversation with Ray prior to him even taking my case was well over an hour long and in that time the 1 thing that truly stood out was his explanation regarding settlement. He said, our number one priority it to get you well again, as close to "your" perfect as we can get you. Ray worked ...on my case over a 4 year period and never once did I feel as if I was lost in the shuffle. Ray was on my side the entire time and I 100% feel he put my best interest ahead of his own. If if were not for his refusal to giving in, knowing the opponent was trying to relieve themselves of responsibility, which would have been detrimental to my health and well-being in the future, I am now safeguarded from future issues indefinitely due to the injury. If you are looking for an attorney who is going to actually work for you, Ray is who you want on your side!

Ray was the attorney representing me for a workplace injury that resulted in multiple surgeries. From start to finish, Ray worked hard to get my treatments approved and was regularly updating me. Ray truly cares about getting what is best for his clients done and is very skilled at doing so. It is ve...ry clear that Ray knows the “ins and outs” of these types of cases and I am grateful to have found him to represent me. From the date of my injury to my final settlement (approximately 3.5 years), Ray kept on top of everything for me so that I did not have to play the games myself with the workman’s comp insurance. Ray first and foremost cared about my health and recovery and made sure the ball kept rolling for me to continue to get my treatment in a timely manner. I will recommend Ray to everyone I know who needs an attorney in the future because of the personal attention he gave me.
