Top lawyer drops accused rape estate heirs Oren and Alon Alexander after more allegations surface

A prominent South Florida attorney abruptly withdrew Monday from representing rape-accused twins and estate heirs, Oren and Alon Alexander.

A well-placed source told the Post that attorney Jim Ferraro's decision to withdraw from the troubling Manhattan case was made at least in part because of his personal ties to the 36-year-old millionaire brothers — not to mention of the avalanche of additional accusations that poured in after two women sued the twins over allegations of sexual assault.

The brothers' new lawyer is Isabelle Kirshner of Clayman Rosenberg Kirshner & Linder of Manhattan.

Kirshner has previously navigated sensitive legal waters, including negotiating a no-jail plea deal for infamous Manhattan gynecologist Robert Hadden, who was convicted of sex trafficking by luring patients across state lines to sexually abuse them.

Consent to the change of attorney in Alexander's case was submitted to the Manhattan court on Monday, documents show.

Two women, Rebecca Mandel and Kate Whiteman, kicked off this sordid saga in March when they filed separate lawsuits against the Alexanders under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily waived the statute of limitations on claims civil charges for sexual assault.

Mandel says in her lawsuit that she was 18 when the brothers took turns raping her in their Manhattan neighborhood in 2010. Whiteman says in her court filing that she was raped by the twins in 2012 during an assault at a castle in the Hamptons on Long Island. .

Nearly 30 other women later came forward with similar claims, according to the attorney representing the plaintiffs.

Ferraro did not respond to The Post's requests for comment on the release of the case.

He first responded to the two women's lawsuits by stating, “We are confident that this case will be resolved in their favor, given a vast collection of powerful evidence, including phone records, text messages, emails and other documents whose content clearly debunks these claims.

The lawyer's ties to the Alexanders run deep, dating back more than a decade, when he first crossed paths with Oren during a New York real estate deal. Their relationship eventually expanded beyond business.

The two were seen partying together in a photo and Oren has publicly spoken about their close bond. In an interview with the Observer in 2009, he said: “With Jim, I flew with him to Miami for a weekend. I flew with him for a weekend to Martha's Vineyard. I flew with him to Aspen – that’s when the deal was made.

Oren has already announced that he is stepping down from his role at Official, a brokerage firm he co-founded with his brother Tal.

In an effort to further distance the company from the allegations against Oren, Nicole Oge and her partners Richard Jordan and Andrew Wachtfogel announced they were severing ties with Oren.

The company is currently in the process of removing it from its property.
