Rob is an AV® Preeminent™ peer review-rated appellate and trial court litigator.

Mindful of his clients' desire to devote their resources to business growth rather than litigation, Rob makes it a priority to gain a precise understanding of the client’s objective and to formulate a strategy to achieve it as early as possible and within budget..

Stephen Biggs focuses his practice on appellate work, preventing and solving business disputes, and protecting the reputation and intellectual property of individuals and businesses.. Appellate Practice. Stephen assists individuals, businesses, and other lawyers in appealing a ruling from one court to a higher court and in defending against appeals taken by opposing parties. His appellate experience includes cases involving many different areas of the law, including business and commercial disputes, questions of statutory interpretation, issues regarding the enforceability of contractual provisions, criminal matters, defamation claims, and unemployment insurance benefits—to name a few.. Most frequently, clients and other lawyers hire Stephen to assist them in bringing direct and intermediate appeals (incluidng special actions) before the Arizona Court of Appeals. But Stephen has also prepared multiple petitions for review to the Arizona Supreme Court, and he has briefed and argued two cases accepted for review by that court. Stephen also has experience briefing and arguing cases in the federal courts of appeal, and he has assisted or consulted with other lawyers in pursuing and defending appeals before appellate courts in states outside of Arizona.. Preventing and Solving Business Disputes. Stephen helps individuals and businesses avoid and solve disputes, both before and after they become lawsuits. Effective risk management (including seeking the advice of a lawyer about how to prevent and protect against legal problems before they occur) and early negotiation to resolve problems that do arise before they become lawsuits can oftentimes keep individuals and businesses out of court and avoid the costs of litigation. But when litigation is necessary or a court action has already been filed, Stephen assists businesses and individuals in pursuing or defending against legal claims in court or in arbitration.. Some examples of the types of problems and situations that Stephen helps his clients avoid or address include contract disputes, unfair competition, disclosure of confidential information, fraud claims (including claims for consumer fraud, securities fraud, and other forms of investment fraud), business management disputes (including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, or disloyalty against officers, directors, and other managers of businesses), business ownership disputes (including business break-ups), failed business deals, trust disputes, and professional negligence (including malpractice claims against accountants, auditors, and lawyers).. Protecting and Defending Reputations and Intellectual Property. Your good name matters, whether you are an individual or a business. In the age of the Internet, it is easier than ever for harmful, negative statements to be communicated to large audiences instantaneously. Stephen assists individuals and businesses in protecting their reputation when others defame, slander, or libel them. He also assists those who have been accused of defamation, slander, or libel in defending against those claims.. In addition to reputation, another valuable asset of every business and entrepreneur is intellectual property. Stephen assists individuals and businesses in pursuing and defending against claims of trade secret misappropriation, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, Lanham Act violations, and other forms of unfair competition related to intellectual property rights (including palming off and passing off claims).

As a parent, I understand the importance of parental rights and the need to put the interests of the children first and foremost. When parents have other priorities and ignore their parental responsibilities, the children suffer. Abusive or neglectful parents should not be tolerated. The other parent, grandparents, aunts and uncles must step up and attempt to sever the biological parent's rights and adopt the children in those instances. If the extended family is unwilling or unavailable, foster parents may take the place of biological parents to provide the children with a safe, secure, loving and permanent home. I have litigated thousands of these cases, in most Arizona counties, as a private attorney and also as an Assistant Arizona Attorney General. While an AG, I was honored as the Litigator of the Year by my fellow attorneys representing Child Protective Services. I can help you too.. Not only have I battled opponents successfully across the State of Arizona. I have also defeated cancer. Radiation, strong medicine, skilled physicians and, most importantly, with God by my side, I have met my most serious challenge.. Let me see what I can do for you.

I am a "strategic interpretive replicator."  Basically, I see or experience success in one context and I do my best to replicate it in another. The law presents a fascinating opportunity to apply that ability by taking a mixture of facts, personalities, case law, statutes, experience, and extracting the useful parts of each to apply to my next case.I enjoy helping people who have been fired or discriminated against for the wrong reasons - especially when it's companies or individuals who should know better. As a former small business owner, I also enjoys helping small and mid-size businesses avoid employment-related disputes by either taking steps NOW to prevent that risk or defending a lawsuit when it happens.  I absolutely love being part of the appellate process to either defend a great result or change a bad one.I am married with two daughters (8 & 5). My interests include reading, writing, piano (30+ years), shooting (not hunting), aviation, foreign travel, and saving for the weddings.
