Lawyer for Epstein Accuser Ejected From Dershowitz Suit part 2 of 2
“The decision to disqualify our firm, which has had the privilege of representing Virginia and advocating for her brave voice and call for justice for the past five years, is deeply disappointing and will be promptly appealed,” McCawley said in a statement.
In a statement, Dershowitz said he “is extremely pleased that the Boies firm has been disqualified and that its lawyers will be fully available to him as witnesses in the case.”
Though still of the mind that the case should have been dismissed, Dershowitz said “is gratified that the important First Amendment freedoms” he raised “will continue to be considered by the trial court and are fully preserved.”
