Rivermark Title is led by Molly M. Jones, a seasoned title attorney with deep experience in both transactional and estate matters.

She is joined by closing attorneys M. Robert C. Riess, Jr. and Michael Riess, whose decades of combined experience in real estate law and litigation further strengthen the team’s ability to serve clients across Louisiana.
