Transactional counsel and courtroom advocacy for individuals, families, and businesses across Louisiana and Mississippi.
Precision. Preparation. Results.
When the stakes are high — your family, your business, your property, your freedom, your future — you need more than a lawyer who knows the law. You need one who knows how to use it.
Aertker Legal, LLC is a Covington-based transactional and litigation practice serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. Founded and led by Stephen "Curt" Aertker, Jr. — an LSU- and Tulane-educated, AV Preeminent-rated attorney with over two decades of experience in the boardroom and the courtroom — the firm is built on a principle that should be self-evident but rarely is: every client deserves diligent, intelligent, and cost-effective representation, regardless of the size of the case.
What sets the firm apart is not just experience — it is the combination of old-fashioned personal service and a technology-powered practice infrastructure that delivers the preparation, responsiveness, and document precision clients associate with much larger firms. When you hire Aertker Legal, you work directly with Stephen Aertker from the first call to the final resolution.
No hand-offs. No associates. No file numbers. Just your lawyer — prepared, focused, and on your side.
Licensed in Louisiana since 1997 and Mississippi since 1998 — admitted in all state courts of both states, four federal district courts, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. When your matter requires federal court or beyond, the firm is already there.
The highest peer-review distinction — conferred by fellow attorneys and judges for pre-eminent legal ability and the highest professional ethics. Not self-reported. Peer-verified.
Every matter is handled directly by Stephen "Curt" Aertker, Jr. You will always know the status of your case, your calls will be returned, and the attorney who appears in court is the one who prepared the case from day one.
Stephen Aertker lives, practices, and coaches soccer in St. Tammany Parish. He knows these courts, these judges, and this community — because it is his. For over two decades, the Northshore has trusted the firm with its most consequential matters.
