Watch: Montell Figgins in the Epstein files
1:01Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Montell Figgins appears in the files as Michael Thomas’s defense attorney in the federal case arising from Jeffrey Epstein’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Court records show Figgins handled discovery and defense motions, and signed a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement with Thomas.
The strongest connection is legal: Figgins represented Thomas in United States v. Thomas and Noel, including filings about discovery, the investigation into Epstein’s death, and a motion for dismissal based on selective prosecution. An FBI property record also lists his Newark law office as the source of an item returned to an associate there. The archive counts 26 documents mentioning Figgins: 15 legal documents, 9 emails, 1 government record, and 1 medical record; two emails list him in the sender or recipient headers. These records document his professional role, not a personal relationship with Epstein.
Key Highlights
- •Figgins represented Michael Thomas, a federal jail guard charged in connection with falsifying records about required checks at the jail where Epstein died.
- •Court filings show Figgins sought discovery and challenged the prosecution; Thomas later signed a deferred prosecution agreement.
- •The FBI record naming Figgins’s law office concerns property collected from an associate at the office, rather than evidence that Figgins was a subject of the death investigation.
- •The files establish a legal connection to the case, not a personal or business relationship between Figgins and Epstein.
