About René Fabré
My path to becoming an attorney is shaped by both personal experience and the legacy of the people who came before me. Before I ever represented a client, I faced the justice system from the side where too many people feel ignored, silenced, or overpowered. I’ve experienced moments where my rights were violated, where authority was abused, and where powerful institutions acted without accountability. Those experiences didn’t define me — but they changed me. They gave me firsthand insight into the fear, frustration, and uncertainty many of my clients face when they walk into my office.
Instead of letting those moments break me, they became my turning point. They pushed me to rebuild my life, pursue an education, and dedicate myself to ensuring that no one stands alone in front of a system that doesn’t always treat people fairly. But resilience didn’t start with me — it runs in my family.
My roots in South Louisiana extend back to the 1700s, and my family’s history is filled with stories of people who confronted barriers with determination and purpose.

A Lawyer with Deep Roots in Louisiana
On my father’s side, my family farmed cotton and timber in Pointe Coupée Parish throughout the 1800s and mid 1900s. My father moved to New Orleans to attend high school, served in the Air Force during the Vietnam War, then built his life through honest, hard work: hauling sugar for Domino, moving Sea-Land containers, and working in the moving and logistics trades. My family’s legacy is one of service, perseverance, and deep Louisiana roots.
These stories — both personal and generational — guide the way I practice law. I understand what it feels like to be vulnerable in the legal system, and I take seriously the responsibility of standing up for someone who trusts me with their future. I bring professionalism, compassion, and strength to every case I handle.
My mission is simple: I protect the people of South Louisiana with the expertise of an attorney and the heart of someone who has lived the realities many of my clients face. I fight for my clients because their stories matter — and because my own story shows me every day that justice is worth fighting for.

"He genuinely cared"
Rene Fabre is a champ. He handled my succession quickly, smoothly, and with complete professionalism from start to finish. What I expected to be a stressful and confusing process was made simple and straightforward because of his knowledge and attention to detail.
Rene was responsive, clear in his explanations, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done correctly and efficiently. There were no unnecessary delays, no confusion—just excellent legal work and peace of mind.
If you need help with a succession or estate matter, I highly recommend his office. You will be in very capable hands.

"Easy to reach"
Great Communication and easy to reach. What's the point of a great lawyer if you can't even communicate with them? With René you get both!
My nephew was in jail in the middle of the night. I was stressed, worried, and scared. All the law offices that I had called were closed, and finally, one office answered. The Law Office of René Fabré. A lady answered and said she would leave the lawyer a message. I didn't think I'd get a call back. Then shortly after, I got a call.
René gave me great advice and a fair quote. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped ease all of my worries. I'm so glad those other guys I had called first were closed. Don't miss out on a great attorney, call René! He also has a nice office in downtown Nola, make an appt and stop by.
