<span style="color:blue">Alan M. Dershowitz</span></a> as he was giving a fiery speech defending Israel. The disruption normally would not have fazed Mr. Dershowitz, a former Harvard Law School professor who thrives on controversy and relishes taking on opponents

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Dershowitz knew what it meant. A decade ago, he had defended a friend, a money manager named Jeffrey E. Epstein, after authorities in Palm Beach, Fla., found evidence indicating
that he was paying underage girls to give him sexual massages. The lawyer led a scorched-earth attack on the girls and, with a team of high-priced lawyers, cut a plea deal for Mr. Epstein that the local police said was too lenient.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Over a five-decade career, Mr. Dershowitz has represented some of America’s most prominent criminal defendants, including O. J. Simpson, Leona Helmsley, Mike Tyson and Claus von
Bulow. Now, he finds himself on the other side, in a legal battle to clear his own name. At 77, he is struggling to absorb a bitter lesson — that choosing the wrong client can exact its own cost.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in">
<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Last December, as part of a filing in an ongoing lawsuit, a woman charged that Mr. Dershowitz had sex with her when she was underage. Mr. Dershowitz called the claim an “outrageous
lie” and over the last year has faced fallout from the accusation.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“This is very serious,” Mr. Dershowitz said last month at his apartment in Manhattan. “It involves my life, my legacy, my career, my history, my reputation.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The two lawyers are in an increasingly virulent war. In October, Mr. Dershowitz testified in a deposition that Mr. Boies had privately assured Mr. Dershowitz that he did not believe
the claims of his client, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. “He said that he would not have taken this case if they had known she was going to accuse me,” Mr. Dershowitz said recently.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Boies responded that he never made such a statement. “The only explanation I have is that he is so emotional about this that he starts saying things without being careful,”
Mr. Boies said in an interview. “He has been someone whose approach in litigation is to attack the other side.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In recent weeks, efforts to resolve the thicket of legal actions have begun, but Mr. Dershowitz insists that any settlement must clear him of sexual wrongdoing. The woman accusing
Mr. Dershowitz has not filed a complaint with the authorities or a lawsuit against him. Instead, her allegation first emerged in a lawsuit that challenged Mr. Epstein’s plea agreement.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Dershowitz long taught his students that everyone, even those charged with the most heinous crimes, deserves a defense. But he now says he hesitated when Mr. Epstein called
him in 2006 to ask for help because he was being investigated in connection with sex crimes.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The friendship between the men started in the mid-1990s on Martha’s Vineyard. Not long after they met, Mr. Epstein invited Mr. Dershowitz to a birthday party for Mr. Wexner. Instead
of accepting presents, the retail magnate had a tradition of asking friends to bring the most interesting person they had met over the last year.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Law School. It was outside the classroom, however, where his fame grew. He handled celebrated cases, appeared as television commentator and wrote many books, fiction and nonfiction. His account of the von Bulow case, “Reversal of Fortune,” was made into a
film in 1990 in which the actor Ron Silver donned a bushy mustache and aviator glasses to play Mr. Dershowitz.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Along with enjoying celebrity, Mr. Dershowitz has also relished excoriating those he considers foes. He has taken on journalists, chided universities for coddling students and has
been relentless in his defense of Israel, for example, accusing the writer Alice Walker of bigotry for refusing to allow an Israeli publisher to translate her novel “The Color Purple.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Soon after meeting Mr. Epstein, Mr. Dershowitz became drawn into his rarefied world. Mr. Epstein was an enigmatic figure living in an Upper East Side mansion once owned by Mr. Wexner,
who had reportedly been his mentor. A college dropout who once worked for Bear Stearns, Mr. Epstein said he handled investments for billionaires, though other than Mr. Wexner, he declined to identify them.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Along with prominent businessmen, Mr. Epstein’s friends included scientists, socialites and celebrities. He donated $30 million to finance scientific research at Harvard. President

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Mr. Dershowitz also traveled on Mr. Epstein’s plane and was invited to join his chats with Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister. The men grew so close that Mr. Dershowitz

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In the interview in his Manhattan apartment, Mr. Dershowitz said Mr. Epstein was often surrounded by young women, but none struck him as underage. “I never got involved in his social

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">After taking the case, Mr. Dershowitz responded, as was his way, with hardball tactics. He gathered information from the girls’ postings on social media accounts, which he claimed
showed they were drug users or had lied to Mr. Epstein about their age. He also helped put together a defense team that included Roy Black, the prominent trial lawyer, and Kenneth W. Starr, who led the investigation into President Bill Clinton’s involvement

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The events that pulled him back into Mr. Epstein’s orbit began unfolding in 2008. That year, two lawyers, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, filed a lawsuit accusing the Justice

Ms. Giuffre, now a 32-year-old mother of three, told the newspaper that Mr. Epstein first started paying her for sexual services when she was 15. She also described traveling around the world on Mr. Epstein’s jet.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

Dershowitz had sex when she was a minor aboard Mr. Epstein’s plane and at the money manager’s homes in New York, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. She also asserted that Mr. Epstein had “sexually trafficked” her to other powerful friends, including Prince

calls from reporters seeking comment. At every opportunity, he called Ms. Giuffre’s claims “outrageous falsehoods” and called the lawyers who had made the filing, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Cassell, “villains” who helped fabricate the claims against him.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

the Justice Department lawsuit. When Mr. Dershowitz’s name surfaced in that lawsuit, another lawyer at the firm agreed to represent him before realizing that Ms. Giuffre was already a client. After the lawyer withdrew, Mr. Dershowitz expressed anger, saying

challenging the plea deal brought an accusation that he had sex with a woman when she was a minor, the

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The accuser, represented by lawyer David Boies, never filed a complaint with police or a suit against Dershowitz. She testified in a suit claiming the Justice Department
violated the rights of two women in Epstein’s case by not allowing them to challenge the plea deal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

falsehoods,” and two other lawyers who made the sex claim in a court filing are “villains.” Those two lawyers, Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell, alleged defamation in a suit against Dershowitz, who filed a counterclaim.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Mike Tyson and Claus von Bulow. Now, he finds himself on the other side, in a legal battle to clear his own name. At 77, he is struggling to absorb a bitter lesson—that choosing the wrong client can exact its own cost.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
