Inside Bossé Rollman, the Tucson firm a business litigator has helped run since 1990 — five decades into a career that started the same year Nixon resigned, still handling the kind of “bet-the-company” litigation that puts a firm’s whole future on the line.

Origin: Half a Century in Southern Arizona Litigation
Richard Rollman earned his B.A. from the University of Arizona in 1972 and his J.D. from the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law in 1974, and was admitted to the Arizona Bar in 1975. He co-founded Bossé Rollman PC in 1990 alongside Steve Bossé, building what has become one of Southern Arizona’s leading commercial law firms over 35 years of continuous operation.
Practice Areas
Rollman’s practice centers on business and commercial litigation, real estate litigation, and partnership and shareholder disputes, including matters the firm categorizes under “bet-the-company” litigation — cases with stakes significant enough to threaten a client’s core business. The firm’s broader practice spans real property transactional work, employee benefits, labor and employment advice for employers, tax, and estate and trust planning, serving clients from established manufacturers and professional organizations to entrepreneurs and non-profits.
Track Record
Business litigation outcomes are frequently confidential or resolved through settlement, so there’s no independent public case table to cite here. Rollman’s professional record instead runs through 50 years of continuous practice and sustained recognition in the “Bet-the-Company Litigation” category of Best Lawyers in America — a designation reserved for attorneys handling the highest-stakes commercial disputes.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Awesome Attorneys did not locate individually attributable, quotable client reviews for Rollman on major platforms as of the research date; the firm’s client roster — which its own materials describe as including established manufacturing and professional organizations such as Tucson Orthopedic Institute, Tucson E.N.T., and Cottonwood Properties — points to a practice built around institutional relationships rather than a large public review footprint.
Community
Rollman was recognized by Tucson Lifestyle Magazine as a Top Lawyer in Tucson specifically for business litigation and commercial litigation, a locally-focused peer recognition distinct from the firm’s national Best Lawyers listings.
Recognition
Rollman has been recognized in Best Lawyers in America for Bet-the-Company Litigation and Commercial Litigation, through at least 2011 per his firm’s published attorney profile — worth noting that specific date range plainly, since Awesome Attorneys could not independently confirm continuous recognition beyond that year from the sources available. He also holds an AV rating under Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review system, the highest available designation for legal ability and ethical standards.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona commercial disputes frequently run through the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in A.R.S. Title 47. Business entities are governed by the Arizona Business Corporation Act, A.R.S. Title 10, and the Arizona Limited Liability Company Act, A.R.S. § 29-3101 et seq. Partnership and shareholder disputes — a specific area of Rollman’s practice — often turn on the governing operating agreement or partnership agreement alongside these statutory defaults, making the underlying contract language as important as the statute itself in most cases.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Rollman’s genuine strength is half a century of continuous business litigation practice in the same market, backed by recognition in Best Lawyers’ most demanding litigation category and a client roster of established Southern Arizona institutions built over decades rather than won through marketing.
The honest caveat: Awesome Attorneys could not independently confirm Rollman’s most recent peer-recognition status beyond the 2011 date documented in his firm’s own materials — prospective clients should confirm his current standing and availability directly, particularly given his half-century tenure.
