A consummate professional who guided us through a complex property closing.

After a complicated family inheritance involving multiple heirs and a historic property in the French Quarter, we needed an attorney with deep expertise in Louisiana real estate law. Ms. Eyrich was recommended for her meticulous nature, and it was the best advice we received. With over 35 years as a title insurance attorney, she navigated the tangled title history with absolute precision, identifying and resolving a decades-old boundary discrepancy that could have derailed the sale. Her accessibility was remarkable; she patiently explained every step, returning calls promptly even during a busy season. Seeing her recent 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition for Real Estate Law was no surprise. Ms. Eyrich’s profound knowledge and steady hand not only protected our interests but ensured a smooth, successful closing. Her four decades of experience in New Orleans real estate are an invaluable asset to any client.
