Ronald N Lebovits

Ronald N. Lebovits is a partner at Zarwin Baum where he leads the firm’s elder abuse and neglect division. Since May of 1998, he has exclusively represented the victims of nursing home neglect and abuse, successfully prosecuting civil lawsuits against nursing homes, personal care homes, assisted living facilities, community based homes for persons with developmental disabilities and hospitals. His cases have involved instances where residents or patients have experienced physical abuse, developed severe yet avoidable pressure sores, suffered preventable falls, or choked on their food, among other examples of poor care.

Ron has routinely taught Continuing Legal Education programs sponsored by a variety of CLE providers on the topic of elder neglect and abuse. He has written articles offering advice and information to residents’ family members of residents which have appeared in local newspapers. In addition, Ron has been a guest on local radio and television programs to discuss the topic, answering questions from callers, including an appearance on “It’s Your Call” hosted by Lynn Doyle. He has participated at many community-wide programs, providing guidance and direction to family members of nursing home residents who struggled with care concerns. These efforts have included meetings sponsored by local chapters of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).

In September 2004, Ron was selected by the Legal Intelligencer and Pennsylvania Law Weekly as a “2004 Lawyer on the Fast Track.”
