Client Testimonials

Bob Collie, while at Andrews Kurth and his previous firm, has represented the City of Houston for many years, including the entire eighteen years I have been with the City. Bob is a prior City Attorney for the City of Houston, and has a deep understanding of all aspects of public finance and the special issues that effect a large issuer of public securities, such as the City of Houston. He is always willing to go the extra mile to ably serve the City on public finance matters. I would definitely recommend Bob and his firm for any entity engaging in public finance transactions.
