Sam Steger

Sam was hired by the firm of McRoberts, Warner, Fox & Seeley when he graduated from law school in 1979.

The McRoberts, Warner firm split while Sam was studying for the bar and Sam joined the senior partner in the firm known as McRoberts & Steger, P.A. Sam’s initial experience at this firm included representation of Stuart National Bank which became Florida National Bank, First Union National Bank, Wachovia National Bank and Wells Fargo National Bank.

Sam’s representation of the bank included residential and commercial loan closings, bank contracts and collections and representation of the trust department. Sam’s office was located in the bank building across from the Martin County Courthouse for twenty-five (25) years. In 2005, the firm relocated to its office building on U.S. 1 just south of the Roosevelt Bridge.

As the banking industry evolved through mergers and related issues, Sam’s practice gradually transitioned to representation of families in wills, trusts, estates, real property and business transactions and related litigation.

Sam’s wife, Karen, joined him in 1988 and, since that time, the firm has been known as Steger & Steger, P.A. which is now doing business as Steger Law.

Unlike Karen and Lori, the farthest that Sam has run in a marathon is the last 5.2 miles of the Boston Marathon to provide support to Karen’s finishing kick.
