Jonathan L. Berkowitz is the vice-chair of our Health Care and Long-Term Care practices. He focuses his practice on representing nursing homes, assisted living facilities, acute psychiatric health hospitals, home health care agencies, substance abuse rehabilitation providers, medical transportation providers, and day- and child-care facilities in matters involving management and professional liability.

Jon approaches each matter as a collaborative partnership with his clients and an opportunity to not only mitigate risk and exposure in existing matters, but also to optimize future patient care. He regularly uses innovative, peer-reviewed medical research to develop creative legal theories in defense of his cases. A zealous client advocate, Jon has achieved positive results in a number of catastrophic, high-exposure matters.

Prior to pursuing his juris doctor from Hofstra University’s School of Law, Jon earned his bachelor’s in journalism from the University of Florida.
