Jay Lefkowitz appears extensively in the documents as one of Jeffrey Epstein's primary defense attorneys, working alongside Roy Black and Ken Starr during the 2007-2008 federal plea negotiations in Florida.
Lefkowitz appears primarily in court filings, legal correspondence, and government records related to the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement negotiated with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. He is mentioned in email communications with Assistant U.S. Attorneys, particularly Marie Villafafia, regarding plea agreement terms, witness tampering charges, and civil claim handling. The documents show him as an active participant in legal strategy, with some mentions noting he personally reviewed reporter's notes and contemporaneous records. He is described as having worked with Alexander Acosta at Ken Starr's law firm Kirkland & Ellis before joining Epstein's defense team.
