David Schoen

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

David Schoen is a criminal defense attorney who was hired by Jeffrey Epstein in February 2019, approximately nine days before Epstein's death in August 2019. Schoen provided legal advice to Epstein on matters related to his practice and finances. The relationship was brief and limited to the final months of Epstein's life. There is no evidence that Schoen was arrested, charged, convicted, or sentenced in connection with the Epstein case. Schoen has publicly stated his belief that Epstein did not kill himself, though he acknowledges he cannot prove this claim. Schoen's involvement with Epstein is primarily notable as a brief attorney-client relationship rather than any form of criminal accountability or substantive participation in Epstein's alleged crimes.
