Background
Jeffrey S. Pagliuca is a Colorado-based attorney at the law firm Haddon, Morgan and Foreman, P.C., located at 150 East 10th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80203. He was admitted to the Colorado Bar on October 19, 1982, and has maintained good standing with no disciplinary actions against him. His bar certification was confirmed by the Colorado Supreme Court as of July 7, 2020.
Pagliuca served as defense counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell in both her civil litigation (Virginia L. Giuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell, Case No. 1:15-cv-07433-RWS, SDNY) and her federal criminal case (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN), SDNY). He appeared in the Southern District of New York on a pro hac vice basis, with his admission granted by Judge Alison J. Nathan. He worked alongside co-counsel Laura A. Menninger from the same firm, as well as Mark S. Cohen and Christian R. Everdell of Cohen & Gresser LLP, and Bobbi C. Sternheim.
Pagliuca was an active litigator throughout the Maxwell proceedings, filing numerous motions, corresponding with the court, and managing defense strategy including expert witness disclosures, evidentiary motions, and bail applications. On August 7, 2025, Judge Paul A. Engelmayer granted the motion to withdraw Pagliuca and Menninger as co-counsel for Maxwell.
