Summary
Bradley James Edwards is a prominent American civil trial attorney and the managing partner of Edwards Henderson, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is most widely recognized for his decade-long legal representation of more than 60 victims of Jeffrey Epstein, a role that culminated in massive settlements from financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase ($290 million) and Deutsche Bank ($75 million) in 2023. Edwards is the author of the 2020 book "Relentless Pursuit," which details his legal battle against Epstein. While celebrated by many for his advocacy for survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking—earning the Polaris Star Award in 2024—his work has also faced scrutiny from critics like journalist Michael Tracey, who question the financial motivations of attorneys involved in the high-profile scandal.
