About David Martinez

David A. Martinez is a seasoned commercial and residential real estate attorney with particular experience in title insurance. David is highly respected for his legal acumen and approach to resolving a client’s issue in a practical way, qualities that have attributed to him being recognized by his peers as one of the top real estate attorneys in New Orleans through his inclusion in Best Lawyers in America.

“Through experience I have learned that most people are all fired up about their case, but after they have spent a lot of money on winning they may not feel like they have gained anything,” says David. “That is why I thoroughly analyze each client’s case from both a legal and practical perspective from the very beginning. When I give my clients an answer I am confident that my opinion will accomplish what they are trying to accomplish while saving them time and money.”

David has been with Steeg Law since 2003, where he coordinates title insurance for numerous commercial and residential transactions, including hotels, office buildings, shopping centers, convenience store chains, and multi-state sales and loan closings, as well as homeowners’ purchases and refinance mortgage transactions.

His practice areas include title examinations, title insurance law and secured transactions. In addition to providing title insurance for closings handled through Steeg Law, as a title attorney with Orleans Title, the firm’s in-house title insurance agency, he works with the national accounts offices of its underwriters, First American Title Insurance Company, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company, and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, acting as the Louisiana title agent for multi-site/multi-state transactions, including the sale or refinancing of entire portfolios of commercial properties.
