The Government Knows
the Rules.
So Do We.

When government is the problem, Cobb & Gervasi is the answer. We are a Texas government-litigation boutique for businesses responding to government investigations, fighting with Texas state agencies, involved in procurement disputes, facing licensing threats, and engaged in property-rights battles. Bill Cobb has seen government cases from BigLaw, regulated industry, and the Texas Attorney General's Office. Alexa Gervasi has spent her career challenging government overreach at its foundation. Together, they bring insight from both sides—and put it to work for you.
