Jack Scarola is a Florida-based trial attorney and partner at Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A., specializing in complex civil litigation. Known for his courtroom skill and advocacy, Scarola became a key victims' attorney in the Jeffrey Epstein legal battles, working alongside Bradley Edwards and David Boies.
Scarola was instrumental in pursuing civil litigation on behalf of Epstein survivors, helping to expose the failures of the 2008 non-prosecution agreement and holding Epstein's estate accountable after his death in 2019. He collaborated with David Boies and Sigrid McCawley on high-profile cases, including Virginia Giuffre's defamation suit against Ghislaine Maxwell and her claims against Alan Dershowitz. His firm's expertise in civil litigation helped survivors pursue accountability through the courts when criminal justice failed them.
After Epstein's death, Scarola played a role in estate litigation, securing compensation for survivors through both direct settlements and the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program. His work helped ensure that survivors received financial compensation even though criminal prosecution of Epstein ended with his death.
