Stephen H. Lebovitz is a Pittsburgh attorney with more than 35 years of experience in estate planning and probate, real property disputes, business litigation, and complex civil matters. Admitted to practice in Pennsylvania on November 8, 1989, he represents families, business owners, and individuals in matters involving substantial assets, ownership conflicts, and contested proceedings.
His practice spans estate planning, probate administration, real estate ownership issues, business disputes, personal injury litigation, and contested family law proceedings. He regularly appears in court on motions, emergency petitions, support and custody matters, partition actions, quiet title proceedings, ejectment, will contests, fiduciary disputes, post-trial enforcement, and appeals.
Many situations demand coordinated judgment across estate planning, real property, business interests, and litigation rather than isolated document preparation or reactive court appearances. He excels in matters that require all three at once.
A significant portion of his estate planning work is structured to reduce the likelihood of future conflict. Careful drafting, coordinated asset structuring, and financial analysis are intended to withstand scrutiny if disputes arise. When litigation becomes necessary, clients benefit from counsel who understands both how legal instruments are constructed and how they are tested in court.
Education
Stephen earned his degree in Economics with a concentration in Finance from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and his Juris Doctor from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. His financial training informs his approach to valuation, tax exposure, business structure, and negotiation strategy.
