Ray
Bourhis practices law in San Francisco, specializing in insurance bad faith litigation.
A
graduate of Boalt Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, Bourhis has
been a court-appointed Special Master overseeing reforms in the California Department
of Insurance since 1990. He was appointed by U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer to her
Federal Judicial Selection Advisory Committee. He was recently profiled by Ed
Bradley in a 60 Minutes report concerning fraudulent insurance practices. Born
and raised in Elmhurst, Queens, Bourhis credits an attempt by gang members to
throw him into a blazing bonfire at the age of twelve with helping him develop
the survival skills needed to deal with insurance companies. He lives in Kentfield,
California.
