Background
Jack Scarola is a Florida-based attorney (Florida Bar No. 169440) and partner at the law firm Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A., located at 2139 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida. He is a victims' rights attorney who became a central legal figure in the Jeffrey Epstein civil litigation landscape, representing multiple Epstein victims and attorney Bradley Edwards in related proceedings.
Scarola's involvement in the Epstein matter spans over a decade, from at least 2009 through at least 2021. He filed complaints and discovery responses against Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, served as lead counsel for Bradley Edwards and Professor Paul Cassell in their litigation against Alan Dershowitz, and communicated directly with federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York regarding Epstein victims. His firm's extensive contact list connected him to dozens of attorneys, investigators, and paralegals working on Epstein-related matters.
Scarola was publicly outspoken about the inadequacy of the 2008 non-prosecution agreement and the characterization of Epstein's offenses as merely a 'local sex case.' He was recognized by the court for his professionalism in mediated settlement proceedings between Edwards/Cassell and Dershowitz.
Epstein Connection
Jack Scarola was a primary attorney representing several of Jeffrey Epstein's victims in civil lawsuits and also served as counsel for attorney Bradley Edwards, who himself represented Epstein's victims. Scarola filed complaints, discovery responses, and motions in multiple cases against Epstein and his associates (including Sarah Kellen). He also represented Edwards and Paul Cassell in their defamation litigation against Alan Dershowitz. Scarola communicated directly with federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, providing them with information about Epstein's victims and potential witnesses. During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, Maxwell's defense sought to call Scarola as a witness, which was opposed by the U.S. Government.
Key Allegations(7)
Scarola stated that Epstein should be held accountable for his 'unrelenting attacks' on attorney Bradley Edwards, who had been counter-sued by Epstein for alleged malfeasance in representing victims.
documentedScarola stated that it was 'a gross mischaracterization to describe this as a local sex case' and that 'there was ample evidence' of Epstein's broader criminal conduct.
documentedScarola filed over 62 pages of detailed allegations on behalf of Edwards outlining Epstein's connections to powerful figures including President Bill Clinton.
documentedScarola promised an upcoming Palm Beach County trial would be 'the first public airing of Epstein's lurid lifestyle' and referenced a 'star-studded witness list.'
documentedScarola contacted Alan Dershowitz on behalf of Edwards seeking Dershowitz's voluntary cooperation in answering questions about his relationship with Epstein.
documentedScarola forwarded information to colleagues about a person who claimed that in 1996, a priest from St. Edmund's Church in Warren, Michigan, arranged for him (then age 15) to meet Epstein to translate for approximately 30 girls from the Middle East who did not speak English.
allegedScarola contacted SDNY prosecutors to inform them that one of Epstein's victims, who was 'repeatedly molested in Florida beginning at age 14,' had received multiple gifts of lingerie from Epstein shipped from New York, and that she was willing to speak to investigators.
documentedLegal Status
Jack Scarola appears throughout the Epstein case documents exclusively in his capacity as a victims' rights attorney and counsel for Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell. He was never charged, investigated, or accused of wrongdoing. The U.S. Government opposed Ghislaine Maxwell's request to call him as a witness at her trial, arguing his testimony was irrelevant and would compromise attorney-client privilege. He was also recognized by a court-appointed mediator for professionalism in the Edwards/Cassell v. Dershowitz settlement proceedings.
