A consummate professional who guided us through a complex property dispute

When our family business faced a contentious commercial property dispute involving a breach of a long-term lease, we were referred to Randy Opotowsky at Steeg Law Firm. From our first meeting, it was clear we were in the hands of a master. Randy’s 48 years of experience, particularly his deep background in both real estate law and litigation, were immediately evident. He didn’t just see the surface-level contract issue; he anticipated the opposing party’s tactics based on decades of handling similar disputes in New Orleans. His dual expertise in transactional real estate and courtroom advocacy was invaluable—he first pursued a strategic negotiation, leveraging his profound understanding of Louisiana property law, but was fully prepared to litigate, drawing on his 25 years as a litigator. The recent recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' in Real Estate Litigation was no surprise to us; his command of the nuances was exceptional. Randy and his team were meticulous, communicative, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for our family’s legacy. He secured a settlement that not only protected our financial interests but also preserved a critical business relationship. For anyone in Southeast Louisiana needing counsel on a serious real estate or business matter, Randy Opotowsky is the definitive choice.
