Much of HighGround’s success has been because of outstanding relationships with Maricopa and Pima Counties, rural Arizona, nearly every city in Maricopa County, and Arizona state government. With over 50 years of combined government experience, HighGround and its principals have established relationships with nearly every agency in state government. The principals of the firm have been representing clients at the Legislature since the firm was founded in January 1996. Previously, the firm’s principals were lobbyists for the Governor of Arizona and the Attorney General at the Legislature. All members of the firm have held numerous positions throughout federal, state, and county government that involved regular interaction with the Legislature beginning in 1985.
