The firm has also successfully handled firearms, pharmaceutical, medical device litigation, medical negligence litigation, employment litigation, computer and technology litigation, general negligence cases, motor vehicle accidents, product liability litigation, and wrongful death cases.

"As a result of my upbringing, my orientation has always been for the little guy. I've always been ready to champion a good cause," says Bierhans. "I take cases because I feel empathy for the people involved." Few firms in Massachusetts have such a breadth of knowledge when dealing with civil and criminal matters as well.
The in house and outside consulting staff of the firm includes nurses that conduct preliminary reviews of the medical issues involved in many of our cases, including our medical negligence, motor vehicle and pharmaceutical cases"
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.
For more than 32 years, Attorney Bruce A. Bierhans has been winning cases and client confidence. Today, Bierhans and his staff at the Law Offices of Bruce A. Bierhans, LLC provide clients with the highest quality of personalized and responsive legal services.
Bruce graduated from Suffolk Law School in 1982. While attending Law School at night, he worked as a senior aide in the Massachusetts Senate. Upon graduation, he began a trial practice in Canton, Massachusetts, and moved his practice to Boston in 1985. He remained in Boston until 1997, at which time he decided to return to the suburbs due to his desire to create a suburban firm that would give his business and litigation clients the same quality of legal service that they could obtain in the city, at a more reasonable cost.
The firm has grown steadily since that time. In the past thirty two years, Bruce has successfully tried cases in the areas of business law, criminal law, and all aspects of personal injury law including products liability, medical malpractice and general negligence. Many of his business and non profit clients have been with him for most of his thirty two years in practice. He prides himself on taking on challenges that other lawyers have turned down. He has fought, and continues to fight for "the little guy", whether it be an individual or business, or non profit organization. He has lectured nationally, to lawyers and physicians, on matters related to trial practice and has maintained an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell for over 18 years; the highest rating available for both skill and legal ethics. He is listed in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register for Preeminent Lawyers.
Bruce and his wife Nancy, who is the firm's Office Administrator, satisfy their love of the ocean by residing in Wellfleet, Mass. Bruce is involved extensively in local charitable and non-profit organizations. He is on the boards of Wellfleet Preservation Hall and The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, is past President of the Payomet Performing Arts Center, is past President and Chairman of Outer Cape Health Services, and is past President of the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater (WHAT). He proudly served as Town Moderator in Wellfleet for two years.
Bruce is currently the Regional Govenor for Cape Cod & the Islands for the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys (MATA).
