Cynthia Morales
Julie Seymour provided exceptional counsel to our hospital system on a recent municipal bond issuance. Her deep knowledge of public finance law and her 35 years of experience with healthcare institutions were invaluable. She anticipated challenges and navigated complex regulations with ease. While her billing rates reflect her top-tier expertise at Nixon Peabody, communication turnaround times could occasionally be quicker during peak periods. Her recognition as a multiple-time 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved. We felt in very capable hands.
