Who is Scott J. Link in the Epstein files?

Scott J. Link is a West Palm Beach, Florida attorney, board certified in business litigation, with the firm Link & Rockenbach, PA. In the files they appear as trial counsel for Jeffrey Epstein in his civil case against attorney Bradley Edwards, which included Edwards' counterclaims. They also appear in a news report naming them as Epstein's counsel in Epstein v. Brunel et al. The archive has 155 documents mentioning Link. Most are court filings and orders, and about 24 are emails to or from Link.

Who else appears alongside Link in the documents?

Link most often appears with Jeffrey Epstein (144 shared documents), Bradley Edwards (116), Scott Rothstein (109), Jack Scarola (106) and Jack Goldberger (98). Much of this overlap comes from service lists and counsel lists in the same court filings. Edwards and Scarola were on the opposing side, and Goldberger was co-counsel for Epstein. In the emails, Link also corresponds with Lesley Groff, Darren Indyke, Richard Kahn and Martin Weinberg.

Do the documents show wrongdoing by Scott J. Link?

No. In the files Link acts as a litigator. They sign filings, send settlement correspondence, coordinate calls with co-counsel and schedule depositions for a client. The archive does not allege misconduct by Link. Their appearance reflects their role as Epstein's lawyer and should not be read as evidence about the conduct of Epstein or anyone else named.

What did Link's emails with Epstein cover?

The emails are largely about legal strategy and logistics in 2018. They cover filings and drafts forwarded for Epstein's review, a draft sworn declaration, a press inquiry about the Miami Herald's reporting and a protective order, and scheduling calls with the wider legal team. Epstein also forwarded a Miami Herald item to Link, Goldberger, Weinberg and Indyke in March 2019. The emails in the files do not show what advice was given beyond what the messages themselves say.

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Scott J. Link is a Florida business-litigation attorney at Link & Rockenbach, PA, who served as trial counsel for Jeffrey Epstein in Epstein's civil litigation against attorney Bradley Edwards. The archive holds 155 documents that mention Link. They include court filings, service lists and orders, and Link's own emails to and about Epstein from 2018.

Link appears mostly in legal documents (104 of 155) as signing counsel for "Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant Jeffrey Epstein," and on service and counsel lists alongside Bradley Edwards, Jack Scarola, Jack Goldberger and others. About 24 emails have Link in the From/To/Cc header. Many of these are with Epstein and his assistant Lesley Groff, and cover filings, conference calls with co-counsel and deposition scheduling. Link also appears in a news article that names them as counsel for Epstein in Epstein v. Brunel et al. The documents show Link in a professional role as Epstein's lawyer and do not show a social relationship.

Key Highlights

•Court filings from 2018 are signed "/s/ Scott J. Link (FBN 602991)" with Kara Berard Rockenbach and Angela M. Many, as trial counsel for Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant Jeffrey Epstein. Counsel lists show Bradley Edwards and Jack Scarola on the other side and Jack Goldberger as co-counsel for Epstein.
•A November 15, 2017 letter marked "Confidential Settlement Communication" from Link to Jack Scarola is in the files. A March 4, 2018 letter from attorney Paul Cassell is addressed to Link and Rockenbach. One court order in the files is titled "Order Compelling Epstein to Produce Settlement Amounts" and lists Link as trial counsel.
•Link emailed Epstein directly at his jeevacation Gmail account in 2018. The messages include a notice of filing an appendix (March 2018), a response to Edwards' motion for partial relief from stay (March 2018), and a draft sworn declaration for Epstein (August 2018). One in November 2018 forwarded a press inquiry about a Miami Herald exposé and a protective order. In May 2018 Link sent Epstein a link to a Palm Beach Post story about Epstein's dealings with the FBI and his plea deal.
•Emails from July to December 2018 show Link scheduling conference calls with Epstein, Martin Weinberg and Jack Goldberger through Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff. In October 2018 Link also proposed new dates for Groff's deposition, and she offered December 17 or 18.
•A September 2018 email thread titled "Rothstein" involves Link and Epstein's longtime aide Richard Kahn. In it Link jokes about winning a hearing and proposes that Epstein authorize part of "$19,000 outstanding," with the rest written off. The thread appears to concern legal fees, but the text in the files is fragmentary.
•Some emails are routine and non-legal, such as a November 2018 exchange in which Epstein's office asked where to ship an Apple Watch gift to Link and Link gave their office address. The documents show a cordial working relationship.
