trying to -- my impression was he was always trying to make stuff happen and sort of put people together and, you know, see if he could make deals happen and, you know, somehow figure out how to monetize that activity of putting businesspeople together. Q So would you say that your personal communications with Mr. Epstein -- were they daily? Weekly? Monthly? Depended on what you guys were working on? A I couldn't say. I mean, he communicated with me a lot. He emailed me a lot. And, you know, he was just a very, kind of, persistent guy in that way. And, you know, I am -- by nature, I'm a responsive person, and so I generally tried to be responsive. He was such a, sort of, relentless person, it was, frankly, hard to be responsive all the time, particularly because throughout this period of time I had a very active law practice that had absolutely nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. So, you know -- but, yes, I mean, he -- I emailed with him frequently, I would say, you know, throughout the 5-year period that I knew him. Q And was email the primary method of your communication? A Yes. Q Would you also have phone calls with Mr. Epstein? A Yes. Q Did you take in-person meetings often with Mr. Epstein? A I did, but I would not characterize those as "often" because he did not live in New York, and so -- like a lot of people who maintain a residence in New York but don't live in New York, they have to count their days. And so he would come to New York, you know, every couple of months, was my impression. And when he did, he would ask people -- you know, he would reach out to people and ask them to come and have meetings. And so, if I met with him in person, it would be at his -- typically in the dining room of his Manhattan townhouse.
