In the summer of 2001, Bierhans and a former partner were in the forefront of medical negligence litigation involving hemophiliac William Modestino, Jr. who had become infected by the HIV virus due to their use of infected factor concentrate blood products. Bill, Jr. died in 1993. Against all odds, in what many of his colleagues told him was an "impossible win", Bierhans successfully argued the case in Worcester (MA) County. Seven years after he had first met the Modestino family, a jury finally found at least one of the doctors who treated William Modestino, Jr. guilty of "failing to fully inform" Modestino of the risks of using untreated blood clotting factor. The jury also determined that they did not "adequately treat him" for AIDS.
