Prominent defense attorney Roy Black, whose cases included securing financier Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, died Monday at his home in Coral Gables, Florida, at the age of 80 after battling an illness, according to his law partner, Howard Srebnick.
“Roy Black was the greatest criminal lawyer of our generation, perhaps in American history, achieving acquittals over a span of 50 years in some of the most challenging and notorious cases of all time,” Srebnick, who joined Black’s law firm 30 years ago, told The Miami Herald.
Srebnick said that Black continued to work during his illness. The nature of Black’s illness was not reported.
“For more than 30 years, Roy was my teacher, mentor, and friend,” Srebnick commented. “The loss(es) I feel personally and professionally are immeasurable.”
