Transmitting HIV in California may No Longer Be a Felony…

Transmitting HIV in California may no longer be a felony but it is still a civil offense and you can hold someone of substance financially liable for transmitting HIV in Los Angeles or anywhere in California without warning you in advance of intimate contact.  Filing a civil lawsuit is not extortion.  The laws of California recognize the financial damages incurred by the victim of a celebrity, recording artist, TV or film director or producer, or professional athlete who transmit HIV or any other STD without warning intimate partners in advance of contact.

My name is Rivers Morrell, and for more than 40 years I’ve been representing injured Californians and victims of STD transmission.  I understand the weight my clients feel when they first call to speak with me.  Many have thanked me for listening to them, for believing them.  I have seen too many cases where a person of power, wealth or fame carelessly transmits an STD such as HIV without warning their partner.  In many cases, they will subtly threaten and demean those who trusted them.  “It’ll be your word against mine.”  “I have the best lawyers money can buy.”  “You can’t prove you got it from me, you probably got it from someone else.”

I can tell you, first hand, it is possible to prove someone is the source of HIV or another STD transmission and hold them financially accountable for what they have done.  This isn’t a media frenzy, and we don’t even have to include your name in the legal filing (if necessary).  Jane Doe or John Doe filings protect my clients while ensuring the person who has transmitted an STD like HIV knows we are serious and intend to take them to trial.  It’s not your word against theirs.  Transmitting HIV in California may no longer be a felony but it is a civil offense and I will help you to hold a person of substance financially accountable.

I invite you to review the recommendations of my clients, and contact me or call (949)305-1400 to speak with me personally for a free, private and confidential consultation.
