Fleur De Lis Law & Title

Jeff LeSaicherre, the owner of Fleur De Lis Law & Title, was born and raised in Ponchatoula. “We were pretty blue collar,” he says, “we always grew a lot of strawberries—it was almost like being on a farm.” The small-town sensibilities of responsibility for the community and a desire to take care of people are what drove him to go to law school.

LeSaicherre grew the firm in 2017 by opening its Covington location, where he says he found the right formula to grow his business without sacrificing quality and care. He describes it as “a little bit of luck in terms of how I was brought up.”

“I was four when we had the ‘83 flood, and Katrina hit when I was getting out of law school, and then the recession hit as I was getting ready to go on my own,” he laughs, reflecting on it. “I’ve learned to push in those times. Take a little risk, lean into the people, and take a step forward when everyone else is stepping back. Try not to let fear direct you.”

In 2019, the company expanded considerably again, a trajectory that continued even through the COVID-19 pandemic. Fleur De Lis Law & Title now has twelve offices across Louisiana and South Mississippi, including the new location in Terra Bella.

“We don’t want this to be like your typical law firm,” says LeSaicherre. “We wanted to build an experience around the closing. We’re very casual. It’s nice, but not stuffy and formal.” He wanted to create a space where families would be comfortable stopping by after moving boxes and furniture all day, with a focus on making people feel welcome and supported throughout the process of a home purchase. “We pride ourselves on covering everything important, but we keep it light and keep conversation going so everyone knows what they need to know.”

His business philosophy revolves primarily around two points: don’t be greedy, and be a good boss. “Whatever you put into people, you get out of them,” he says. “What sets us apart at the end of the day is our people. We can’t be competed with in terms of our amazing team. We give everyone the opportunity to be their best self, and that makes a difference.

“I’ve tried to hire a certain kind of personality that is people-oriented and business-oriented,” he continues. LeSaicherre takes pride in his team and the culture they’ve built. “We’re like a family. We don’t punch a clock—people hold themselves accountable.”

Although the company started with a focus on real estate, LeSaicherre says the importance of diversifying has always been at the forefront of his mind, both to provide greater security for his team as well as to serve their clients better and more efficiently. In addition to real estate services, they also provide succession and estate planning and business law services.

“Our people are top notch,” LeSaicherre says often, with conviction, “and they are the best out there.”
